I find some of the laminated Celebs pretty so was looking at those when I happened upon the CC-24S, which is a solid spruce-topped mid-bowl version of the otherwise laminate-topped cc-24s. O website says it comes in natural, honeyburst and something called 'Tuscan tan'. So I start looking around and everybody — I mean 99% of everybody — listing these guitars on the internet are calling the honeyburst model 'tuscan tan.' Almost all of them have it wrong! It's hilarious. The only 'real' Tuscan tan I could find is this one (ebay #390047348194) on eBay. Everybody else calls this (http://www.ovationguitars.com/?fa=detail&mid=2273) tuscan tan, when in fact, it is the honeyburst. Lincoln was right: you can fool some of the people all of the time.

The 'color code' thingie is incorrect. If you look at any of the honeyburst pain schemes, they all look like what the CC24S page calls 'tuscan tan'. Kinda like the 1778T page which after all these years still describes the body as a "Mid-Depth Super Shallow Cutaway" Sigh.
