Schecter built the Robert Smith UltraCure-XII as a signature twelve-string electric guitar, positioned within the UltraCure line as an artist collaboration model. The instrument carried item number 281 and was finished in Vintage White.
Construction centred on a chambered mahogany body with a flat top and raised centre contour, joined to a three-piece maple neck via a set-neck joint with Ultra Access. The 25.5-inch scale rosewood fingerboard ran to 24 X-Jumbo frets at a 14-inch radius, with a nut width of 1.771 inches (45mm) accommodating the twelve-string format. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut fed the strings to Schecter locking tuners. The Diamond Adjustable-12 bridge was fitted as standard. Pickup duties fell to a matched pair of Seymour Duncan '59s — the SH-1B at the bridge and SH-1N at the neck — wired to a control layout of two push-pull volume controls, a master volume, and a 3-way switch, with metal knurled knobs throughout. Hardware was finished in chrome. Mother of pearl block inlays marked the fretboard positions, with glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball 12-String Electric #2230 (.010–.046) strings.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly strings, nuts, or twelve-string bridge saddles — should cross-reference the specific component part numbers with a qualified guitar technician, as twelve-string setups benefit from careful intonation work when saddle or nut components are replaced.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
