I recently purchased a Cordoba guitar and it seems like the neck moves every day. I ordered some 11 guaged strings with the hope that it would put some extra tension on the neck keep it from moving.
Is anybody else having this problem? or is there a way to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Long and short of all this is that the 11s might do the trick for your guitar, but you might consider some sort of humidifier too. It seems to have worked wonders for my guitar without constantly having to mess with neck adjustments or bridge shims of varying heights. Hope this helps.

The Oasis seems to be the best at keeping my guitar near that level. Unless you actually put a humidity gauge into your case you won't actually know that the humidity is. Remember that when you start, it will take several days for the body of the guitar, fingerboard and bridge to slowly absorb the water.
In the winter. I use a house humidifier as well which keeps our living quarters near 40 -46%.
Unless there is a fundamental problem with the construction of your instrument, humidity control will help.
Hopefully it will start to make a difference.
Again thanks for the input.
