And The Winner is :

ANDY


Congrats

It's the one from the calendar

The GC one was made in 2003, Kego's one in 2005 and that one in 2009

As of now only 3, with two quite similar.
The calendar one has a bluish tint, a red spot on two kois head, no flower on one waterlily and the small stones placed a little differently.
So you needed a good open eye to spot that.

And when twelvebar showed Kego's Koicaster I said: no, not THAT one...

And on 10/26/2009 in the Corncaster thread I wrote:

"Regarding the Koicaster, yes, if there was an opportunity to buy one of the two; but one is at GC and the other one, the owner has absolutely no intention to sell it so the odds are the faintest...now..."

It's also shown on the Japanese Custom Shop book just released.
It's still in Japan and will be shipped this Thurday.

YAY ME!!

Thanks Alainlefrance! and congrats on a fine guitar and wise purchase (looking forward to seeing some better pics as the one in the calender is the only pic i could find!)

It was a truly excellent game (need more like this) yet i can't help but feel that my victory is a bitter sweet one. Twelvebar was so ridiculously close. In fact i wouldn't have got it if it wasn't for his posts (and alain's clues!)

In light of his efforts I am more than happy to split the prize money... :D

Thanks again

Andy (2010 Winner of "Guess Alainlefrance's New Guitar Game") :D

I can't wait for Alain to photograph it for us, and show us close ups of the fish!

Another beautiful find. You are very lucky, i didn't think we'd see these sell anytime soon.

Nor did I.
It was still in the Tokyo shop which ordered it. Due to the theme , highly regarded in Japan, it was supposed to be sold there. But the financial crisis was there also.
Two weeks ago I was discussing with another guitar collector and he asked me:
"Among the guitars you don't have, which one is your dream guitar?"
I said "The Koicaster"
And he replied "This name rings a bell in my head , I'm pretty sure there was one for sale in a Tokyo shop where I bought a guitar in July 2009!"
He gave me the email of the shop and I sent a mail with some hope, but mostly without conviction.
And the rest is history... :wink:
