Schecter built the RS-1000 Busker as an acoustic model in its Robert Smith signature line, positioned as an accessible entry point within that artist series. The instrument carried a set-neck construction and was finished in Gloss Black.
The body was constructed from mahogany with a solid spruce top and white multi-ply binding. The mahogany neck carried a Thin 'C' profile — measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth — and joined a rosewood fretboard with Stars & Moon inlays. The 25.5" scale ran across 21 medium frets on a 16" radius board, with a 1.693" bone nut at the headstock. Tuning was handled by Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners, and the bridge was rosewood acoustic. Hardware throughout was chrome. The truss rod was a two-way adjustable unit, accessible via a 5/32" Allen nut.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, neck relief dialling, or replacement parts such as a bone nut, rosewood bridge, or compatible Grover Rotomatic units should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with set-neck acoustic construction.
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.
