Richie Faulkner "Falcons" RF Set

Known as the guitarist who reignited the fire in Judas Priest over a decade ago, Richie has cemented himself in the heavy metal guitar elite. Hired to finish some previously booked obligations, his recruitment led to a dozen world tours and 4 Judas Priest albums, still going strong. An avid EMG 81/85 player in the early days, Richie became one of the first players involved in the early prototypes of the now classic EMG 57/66 set. Working closely with Rob Turner and the EMG team, some adjustments were made to the 57/66 Set to suit Richie’s evolving style and the RF Falcons Set was born. Initially these customizations were just for Richie, but it had become something very special. To special to not share.

The RF Falcons Set features a clean, high-headroom design for a truly expressive tone at any level of gain, giving the player the benefits of active pickups with an organic passive feel. Available in white and chrome for 2026 only, the RF Falcons set will make any guitar’s tone soar to new levels.

Like all EMG products, this set includes the solderless wiring system for simple installation. Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.

All EMG Pickups are built to order. Estimated shipping is between 7-14 business days.
