The Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure is a signature solid-body electric guitar designed for The Cure’s legendary frontman, Robert Smith. Crafted for lush, atmospheric tones, smooth playability, and expressive vibrato, this guitar is the ultimate tool for alternative, post-punk, and experimental rock musicians.   Featuring a chambered mahogany body, the UltraCure delivers rich, resonant tones with deep sustain, while the raised center flat top enhances both aesthetics and sonic response. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard and three-piece maple neck provide incredible comfort and extended range, perfect for intricate chord voicings and melodic solos.   Powered by a pair of Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1 humbuckers, this guitar delivers classic PAF-inspired tones with smooth, vintage warmth and clarity. The push-pull coil-splitting on both volume controls allows for single-coil chime, expanding its tonal versatility. The Bigsby Flat Top B50 tremolo system with a roller bridge offers expressive pitch control, shimmering vibrato, and rock-solid tuning stability.
