Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure Electric Guitar in Black Pearl

The Robert Smith UltraCure features a comfortable, fast neck that responds immediately to both precise fingerpicking and expansive chord work. Its chambered mahogany body with set-neck construction delivers the dark, moody character and crystalline clarity that defined The Cure's most influential recordings, while remaining versatile across post-punk, alternative, and indie rock applications. This is an instrument built for players seeking atmospheric depth and tonal nuance.

Playability & Feel

The thin "C"-shaped maple neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth, providing a fast, comfortable profile for both technical and expressive playing. The rosewood fretboard features 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) ensures reliable tuning stability and clear note articulation.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Seymour Duncan '59 pickups (bridge and neck) paired with push-pull volume controls and a 3-way selector provide responsive, expressive tonal shaping across a wide spectrum. The Bigsby Flat Top B50 bridge with Roller TonePros TOM delivers sustained resonance and dynamic string response, while Schecter locking tuners maintain tuning integrity through extended playing sessions.
