This is a Recording King RP2-626 00 12-fret w/o cutaway (one of the RK models designed in collaboration with Eric Schoenberg), with Guardian case.
Solid AAA Engelmann top; solid Mahogany back and sides; Mahogany neck; Ebony fretboard and bridge; 1-13/16" nut; 25.4 " scale. Open Grover tuners. nice low action. Pretty wonderful guitar at $800 new; at this price it is a real find.
There is lots of info online about these.
This guitar is in excellent condition - no dings, perfect gloss over the instrument. Looks like new.
Comfortable to play; excellent balance. Buy mine here and you can get a better price without overhead.
I'll get pics up soon, but I can email them to you direct if you request them through a PM.

Of course you put this up after I take delivery last week of a used RK RP1-16C. I'm warming to the 16C (lam b/s, poly not nitro, 0 size), but the 626 would have been sweeter.

I note you say the neck's 1 13/16, but your link, and the one for the cutaway http://www.recordingking.com/guitars/rp2626c both say it's 1 3/4. My lowly 16C also sports a "1 3/4" spec, but I used calipers and it actually measures closer to 1 13/16, than 1 3/4. Not much of a difference, granted, and it seems your 1 13/16 is closer to the actual mark, for those interested.

Yes, the specs are inconsistent. I actually measured it, and I'd call it 1 13/16.
String spacing is 2 11/32.
A sweet instrument. The Englemann top over hog is nicely balanced, imo. Clear but a touch of warmth, too.
