I have done it before on several guitars using a piece of wooden post to reduce the action on a guitar, especially when there was no saddle left. I used the post for the other side, closer to the fretboard. It did improve the sound and action, but I never new what improved the sound, I always thought because of new strings, until I watched this video.
Interesting approach. Never thought about using a sound post to do tone shaping, but I already used it for a particular customer to fight against acoustical feedback when using the guitar plugged (no pun intended). Makes sense.

I find this very interesting because I play an Iranian instrument called santoor and they do have sound posts in them so it make a lot of since that a guitar could benefit from having those as well.
Thank you for sharing. Could you post a link of some nice Santoor playing?
@@corvusmonedulas4895 "faramarz payvar", "Ardavan Kamkar", "pashang Kamkar" are some of out great masters of santoor .. I will give the link to one of faramarz payvar's students who is a great player.

While sound post's have been used in the past for guitar, it never 'took off'.
As the focus became making the front vibrate (to push the air). A sound Post (between front and back) reduced/hampered the fronts vibration. So fell out of favour. But it reappears, from time to time :)
Also, given how guitars often travelled, those posts would be falling out all the time (ala the woe of Violinists)
Yes Moody. These things are true. My method relies on the post being easy to install. It takes me a few seconds. It can be adjusted if it becomes loose in high humidity. The guitar works and sounds just as well without the post, unlike violins. Its position below the soundhole doesn’t decrease volume. It does tighten things up, but because the guitar is lightweight this is not a bad thing. It gives the player a subtle choice of sound. I often think of the Torres guitars where the tornavos was supported by posts to the back which is essentially what I’m doing. La Leona for example. I think it is this fact the made that guitar special. Very lightweight guitar
