I can actually feel the guitar move when my left hand releases the neck to change chords. I think it is actually the depth of the body (4.9") that is the biggest hurdle, as other dreadnoughts with similar bout dimensions but a shallower depth don't pose as much of a problem as the S6. sleepy

See my earlier post in this thread -- I have the same problem with this guitar. It could be my lack of experience, but the weight balance could be an issue. I feel like the neck on my S6 weighs as much as the guitar body, whereas on my Martin, the body is substantially heavier than the neck and the guitar never tips down or moves on my leg when move around the neck.
Perhaps you need to try a smaller body type... like an OM or Grand Performance shape. I much prefer these now.
