You should not feel afraid to adjust the truss rod. They are there to be adjusted, and Taylors are very well put together guitars. Just follow the instructions given on the Taylor truss rod sheet that came with your guitar. HOWEVER, adjusting the truss rod is not really meant to fix an action problem. It will change the action slightly, but that is not what it is there for. Because Taylors have bolt-on necks, the best way to adjust the action is to have the shims adjusted within the neck pocket. You will need to take the guitar to your dealer, who should have a variety of shims (unless you bought from Guitar Center or a proxy) that are designed to replace the shims inside the neck pocket. This will do wonders for an action problem.
