LOST- Charlie Pace acoustic guitar Stickers

[gpalkaline]

Hi All,
I would like to try to replicate Charlie pace guitar from LOST TV series, but I cannot find any information about make/model, but most importantly stickers
which are on the guitar.
I have tried to find something similar in google images but it is just impossible.
Is there any chance that one of you guys recognise any of those stickers ?
Those to on ther ight(as you can see) are quite well visible
Red Oval with K( thought it may be something from "KTM" but no luck there)
Secon Rectangle Black $ sign with "ZERO"
But those two on the left are impossible to find.
I spent hourrs on google images, ETSY and LOST fandom websites etc but no luck there.

Not sure about the stickers, but the guitar he plays is an Ovation. The one he plays on the island, that is. The closest I could find in the Ovation line was an Ovation Legend 2077AX... It has the same pattern around the soundhole and the same dots on the fretboard.

Here is the original that was displayed at comic con one year…

However, I’m not sure this is any help, as it is important to note that the guitar seen in your photo was from a flashback, and was a different model. It is a flat bottom guitar, with a Martin style headstock, as opposed to the rounded back and headstock on an Ovation.

If you or anybody can figure out this brand….

As far as the stickers, the one on top is this…

Perhaps an old Alvarez?

But looking at the flat headstock and the size of the name on Charlie’s guitar, if it is Alvarez, it might be a prop department fabrication. The logo looks a little too small. They may have found an old cheap unknown brand guitar abs slapped the Alvarez logo on it.

Hi, Thansk for that,
I am looking for the second guitar, the one he played in "London" rather the one he had on th island.
Although when I am checking your photo it is possible that his is older version of Ovation guitar. It looks like ther is something at the beginning of the name on th neck

PS. Even if I do not find exact guitar I can "fabricate" something from othe generic guitars, but these stickers are mystery to me.

I thought about that too, but the logo on his guitar doesn’t have the first letter go that high. So I am thinking it is the A in Alvarez. Also, ovation headstocks were never flat.

I am really leaning in the direction of this being a cheap no name 60’s or 70’s Japanese or Korean guitar.

You can see this type of headstock that they may have slapped a logo on. Plus, these old ones don’t have a truss rod cover, and neither did Charlie’s.

Plus if you look at where the pick guard sits, most makers have the guard fit to the outer edge of the circle binding, but Charlie’s guitar overlaps the binding. These cheap makers did that all the time…

Here is this make model number, if you want to search for it in a red color to research more…

Edit:
I have found Alvarez guitar which has similar head stock to the one in the TV series, although it has "more advanced" tuners.
I will keep digging

Nice find. That is getting closer. I still think the edges of the headstock are too rounded. The one in the show had harder corners.

It may be a 1970’s Alvarez model 5023. It looks pretty close, just in a tobacco burst, or other burst color.

You might have found this one already... the yellow sticker under Charlie's elbow looks like The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Are You Experienced?" album cover.

Hi ,
MAN THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!
You are the BOSS.
Somehow I did not figure out that sticker on the guitar may be music related(don't ask me why)

That sticker at the bottom... does it look to you guys like "mushrooms" or to be more specific flybane mushroom. At the beginnig I thought it may be a "carousel" like in the fun park, but that's not it.

"Antares"

Sweet! I kind of thought it looked like a cheap brand guitar. Now, fingers crossed that you can find one. Good luck!

 

[Rich D.]

Looks like an Antares DX26AS. About 100 bucks if you can find one.

Hi,
Thanks for your help with the model.
I saw ther were couple of them on REVERB, but as you mentioned now it is not that easy to find them(plus I would have to find someone who would be willing to send it to UK)

That sticker on the bottom right is almost certainly a Zero Skateboards sticker from the 90's-00's.

Yep, that looks like a match! Seems like they stretched it a bit for the sticker.
Good luck with the elusive "K".

Here are some high-res photos of the 3 guitars (flashback, island, and island with an arrowhead through it) from the LOST Auction catalog.

Hope this helps!
