Testing the Electronics

Once I have the electronics soldered and installed on the pickguard, I use aligator clips and do a mock assembly so I can run the pickups and switches through some tests. Using a pocket amp, I test the wiring, pots, switches and pickups by validating that each pickup is working at the right switch settings. Success is measured by no unwanted noise, and sound only when tapping (lightly with a screw driver) the pickups that should be giving sound at a particular switch setting.
