My (educated?) guess is a 1761-4 Standard Balladeer from 2002. Or perhaps a Balladeer Special, possibly a 1761-GC. Some others around here may have a better answer.

The decider for me was the rounded-end on the fingerboard.
After that I had to look for a TRC to see if it was an LX or GC.
No TRC means that it is older...
OP-30 means that it is not that old.
