I'm pretty sure i'm a carrier as well. The first Taylor I ever had the pleasure of seeing and hearing was LOTF 314K at a local dealer. I'm a lefthanded player and so I couldn't take er' home but I really was quite smitten with it from the salesman's demo.
I ultimately ended up ordering a 510c but many months later when accompanying a friend when they were in the mode of purchasing an acoustic to the same dealer. Guess which one captured his heart, yep, that very same 314K which for some reason hadn't been snapped up by someone else. It was a very nice feeling to see that same guitar which had intro'd me to Taylors go to a friend. He's been mulling over a 12string for a while as well so TAS has got its hooks in good
