You could try a lighter set of strings and adjust the trusrod accordingly (lessen tension by 1/4 turn steps). To my knowledge the phosphor bronze strings have more mass/weight and produce more bass. An alternative could be electric guitar strings, which are used by some on acoustics. However Taylor advices to stick with the factory setup.
Being a brand new guitar, the dealer should allow a free setup of the guitar to your own wishes.
As far as I know the GS model would have had medium lights from the factory, lights were on mine, a GA.
Medium lights would produce even more bass but may have a better ballanced sound overall, worth a try perhaps?
The 12th fret model was said to have a deeper sound overall in Taylor's initial description, so no surprise there.
