Location: Tennessee		That's a tough one just from what you've posted. Can you upload (or link to) a few pictures? That'll help people here get closer.

The fret markers are small dots on the side of the neck

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. 

In any case, it's a great workingman's guitar.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		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.

Workingman's guitar is Right.
