EMG Richie Faulkner Custom 57/66 Falcons RF Pickup Set with F Spacing in White

The EMG Richie Faulkner RF Falcons 57/66 Set in white is a signature active humbucker pairing designed with the modern metal stage in mind. Based on the acclaimed 57/66 platform but tweaked to Richie Faulkner’s exacting requirements, this set delivers huge headroom, articulate attack and a remarkably organic feel, even at extreme gain levels. With F spacing for trem-equipped guitars and EMG’s solderless system included, it is a powerful, plug-in upgrade for players chasing expressive, stadium-ready tones.

Working closely with EMG founder Rob Turner, Richie refined the voicing of the 57/66 to match his evolving style with Judas Priest. The result is a set that retains the tight low end and clarity metal players rely on, while opening up the dynamic range so you can dig in for aggressive rhythm work or back off for singing leads and glassy cleans. Available in white and chrome for 2026 only, the RF Falcons Set is built for players who want the benefits of active pickups without sacrificing the feel and response of a great passive humbucker.

Each set ships with EMG’s complete solderless wiring system, so you can install the pickups quickly and cleanly with minimal downtime. Whether you are upgrading a trusted workhorse or hot-rodding a new build, the RF Falcons Set gives your guitar a commanding, articulate voice that cuts through any mix while staying responsive under the fingers.

Richie Faulkner Signature Voice

Developed in collaboration with Richie Faulkner, the RF Falcons Set takes the core character of the EMG 57/66 and tailors it for high-energy, modern metal performance. The voicing is balanced and musical, with enough aggression for tight riffing but plenty of nuance for solos and clean passages, making it ideal for players who need one guitar to handle an entire set.

High Headroom, Organic Feel

The RF Falcons feature a clean, high-headroom design that keeps your tone open and expressive at any gain level. You get the low noise, consistency and punch of active pickups, but with a touch-sensitive response that feels closer to a great passive set, so volume and pick dynamics translate naturally through your amp and effects.

F Spacing for Trem-Equipped Guitars

This RF Falcons set is F spaced, making it a great match for many tremolo-equipped and wider-spaced bridge guitars. The pole alignment helps maintain string-to-string balance and clarity, so complex chords, fast runs and wide vibrato all come through evenly and with authority.

EMG Solderless Install System Included

Like all EMG sets, the RF Falcons come with the complete solderless wiring system for straightforward installation. With pre-wired pots, connectors and cables in the box, you can swap out your old pickups with minimal tools and no soldering, getting you back to playing faster with a clean, reliable control layout.
