Schecter Robert Smith RS-1000 Busker Acoustic, Gloss Black Overview
The Schecter Robert Smith RS-1000 Busker Acoustic has been finished with a stylish gloss black colour and topped with a white and black star on the body, creating a stunning look worthy of Robert Smith. Its combination of solid spruce and mahogany deliver classic acoustic tones, with the spruce adding plenty of warmth to the mahogany's complex tone. Its mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard work well together, adding complexity to the high end while keeping the lows thick and creamy. As a collaboration between Schecter and The Cure's Robert Smith, the RS-1000 Bucker is a beauty to behold, delivering incredible style and tones worthy of sporting both names on the headstock.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionSculpted for perfection
The Signature Acoustic Guitar's top has been crafted from spruce, while the back and side panels are a high quality mahogany. Its top offers a broad, dynamic tone with a crisp feel to it, providing a powerful sound. Producing little overtone, it can retain its clarity no matter how hard the guitar is played. When used as back and side panels, the mahogany produces warm, soft tones with a good balance of grind and bite where needed. Offering plenty of depth and punch to the guitars tone, the mahogany helps to emphasise the Schecter’s midrange, providing a dark tone.
This model's neck is also crafted from mahogany, which produces a fat, warm tone with a mellow feel whilst also offering an incredible sustain. Its rosewood fingerboard adds to the guitar's warmth whilst softening up the sound and giving it a natural feel. When combined, these two materials offer complex highs, thick, creamy lows, and an appealing midrange.
The legend- Robert Smith
Born April 1959, Robert Smith is an English singer, songwriter, musician most recognisable as the lead singer and guitarist of 'The Cure'. Being born into a musical family, Robert first learnt to play the piano before moving onto the guitar at a young age. While in school, Smith formed a band with his brother and some friends, before moving to another school and formed The Obelisk, the early incarnation of The Cure. Robert Smith is known for his simplistic yet atmospheric guitar playing, choosing effects and sound over technique, and purposefully detuning the top E of his guitar.
