would changing to a heavier gauge damage my guitar?

okay, maybe i'm wrong. thats what the guy at the guitar shop told me. my guitar started to buzz very bad at the 12th fret, and he told me that it was because of what i stated above. if it gets to the point where your bridge is coming up at the bottom (to the point where you can slip a thick piece of paper under it), then your guitar is damadged pretty badly, and it is very hard to fix a warped body on a guitar. but mine was also bady dry, so maybe that contributed also.

Sounds like your guitar could be too wet? I was reading the taylor tech sheets and wet guitars become warped, and drying them out returns them to their natural state.

really? because the guitar was warped BEFORE i had ever tried humidifying it.
if that is the case, i'd better stop humidifying. but it really sucks because the guy at the store said humidifying should fix it over about 6 weeks or so, but it hasn't done shit really

My friends 12 string Martin started to raise at the bridge but that was because he didn't make sure his guitar was properly humidified.
