I play my 52 re-issue fingerstyle 95% of the time.

Derek Trucks and Mark Knopfler come to mind of fingerpicking electric guru's..

what about Ry Cooder, doesn't he fingerpick alot?

well... that's not really true.. he uses a thumbpick and has artificial fingernails professionally applied... they all act like picks... Johnny Hiland does the same thing...

Guthrie Trapp uses a pick, and the meat of his ring/middle fingers to play...

I have been using these Mini- Humbuckers in my Telecasters for a couple years.

Lots of great electric players play finger style. The above mentioned "stars" also just regular guys like me. I play a lot of electric and always prefer finger style. You just have to learn to mute a lot.
