It was recently taken apart and put back together... all in all it hasn't been in use for some time. It makes no sound unless I crank my amp all the way up, then it becomes a faint non-guitar sound that fades in and out. The amp itself is fine, worst great with the others. But the corrupt sound makes it completely unplayable. Anyone have any advice? Reassembled the Floyd Rose, gave it the nylon strings I had, tuned it and plugged it in to discover the problem. Help?
It may be the nylon strings are not compatible with your pickup. The pickups rely on varying magnetic fields from the strings to produce the sound- nylon is not magnetic unless doped with a ferrous material.
Either find doped strings, find a way to dope them or switch back to steel.
You can check the pickups themselves indirectly with a soldering gun or tape head demagnetizer held close to them- you will hear the line frequency quite well if the pickup is working.

I would suspect the tremelo hardware is not returning to rest at the same point. Look for rubbing points and maybe lightly lube those... very sparingly.
