The April guitar in the 2011 Fender Custom Shop Calendar, which hangs just to the left of my monitor, was the Flying Tiger Esquire guitar & amp set, which I thought was cool because I love aviation history, particularly WWII aviation.
So I went looking to see if I could find a Flying Tigers Esquire and found that Schecter also made a Flying Tigers guitar, part of their discontinued Aviation series. You can still find a few of these around (from left, the Spitfire, Bomber Girl, Midway and Flying Tiger models).
If I were buying, I'd go with the Midway, although I think the headstock graphics would have been better with the Jolly Rogers flag or Big Hog from VF-17.
