I was protective of my son and wanted good sound too.
I think it is called a ground fault tester. You can probably get one at the hardware store or Home Depot. You should never play electric instruments when wet or damp, but durn sure don’t do it if you haven’t confirmed a proper safety ground.

I have one of those orange ground testers. I tested all the outlets in that room. None of them showed an open ground or any other issue.
