Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure, Black/Pearl Overview
The ultimate guitar for The Cure and Robert Smith fans! The Schecter Robert Smith Signature UltraCure is as idiosyncratic as the the man himself, with its distinctive offset double-cut body shape and vintage trimmings; including a Bigsby vibrato and block inlays.
Modern Features
Despite its gothic and somewhat old-school aesthetics, the Schecter UltraCure actually has plenty of modern features that make it an ergonomic workhorse for live performance and studio work. Featuring locking tuners and a TOM bridge with rolling saddles, the UltraCure has excellent tuning stability; especially with the smooth Graph Tech XL Tusq nut that allows the strings to glide without friction.
Timeless Construction
The Schecter UltraCure Robert Smith signature model is formed from a classic combination of tonewoods. With a Mahogany body, you can expect deep and rich-sounding lows, while its chambered construction guarantees a light feel and enhanced resonance. Paired with a set 3-piece Maple neck, this material adds plenty of top-end brightness.
Playability is certainly one of the UltraCure’s strengths too. Boasting a thin ‘C’ neck profile and an ultra-access heel joint, this guitar offers a fast feel and easy upper-fret access respectively. Glow-in-the-dark side-dot markers are another thoughtful touch - sure to save your performance on dark and dingy stages!
Seymour Duncan Pickups
High-quality Seymour Duncan pickups give the UltraCure its versatile sound. With a pair of '59 humbuckers, these medium-output pickups sound glorious with clean amp settings and overdrive; able to cover the broad palette of tones that Robert Smith uses in The Cure’s back catalogue. With coil-splitting push/pull volume controls too, you can attain those glassy single-coil sounds!
