I have a 555 spruce/hog built in 2000.  Beautiful sound, and it really puts out the volume, especially when it's got medium strings and is tuned down a whole step.  As I've said before,  if I could only keep one guitar (I have four), this would be it.  Plays just as easy (if not, easier) than my six strings.

I also have a 1966 Gibson B-25; a parlor-size 12-string, of all things.  Rarely play it, but it was my first "real" guitar, so I don't want to part with it.

Had they offered them with a lefty option at the time, I would've gone with as LKSM. My brother owned one and it really was a great 'rumbly' 12-string.
I received this guitar in '95 as a gift ( :))—a Taylor 555 mahogany jumbo 12-string. Really was EASY to play and had a very nice tone. Had an under-saddle pickup installed & used it often onstage. Sold it a few years ago as I commissioned a custom lefty 12-string from a luthier.
One of the better Taylors I've played...
