Bestival has teamed up with The Cure and Schecter to offer an exclusively designed guitar to three lucky winners. The guitar of choice for Robert Smith, these beauties have been specially pimped in honour of The Cure’s Bestival 2011 appearance and will be signed by the man himself! The festival will also be giving away a lifetime supply of tickets via a fancy dress competition.
Robert Smith says: “The UltraCure limited edition Bestival Curetoon Schecter is the grooviest guitar in the world!”
While Schecter Guitars say: “We are proud to partner with The Cure for this amazing event! These UltraCure guitars are adorned with special Curetoon/Bestival art which are destined to be a collector’s item. The UltraCure, designed by Robert Smith has been his main guitar for both the stage and studio for the past 5 years!”
Robert Smith will draw three names “out of a hat” backstage just prior to The Cure’s Saturday night headline performance, and the Curetoon Schecter guitars will be shipped to the winners once Bestival 2011 has ended.

Bestival kicked off the whole theming of festivals 8 years ago and i’m really proud that everyone still make the efforts to get escapist and lose themselves in some crazy gear all weekend.
