My Sakura 175 copy has the post and no bracing. Actually it looks pretty shoddy and with the fake humbuckers!
The sound post wouldn't have been a deal breaker, the lack of bracing is. Seller was a really nice guy however so shame to have to have let him down.
The arch top is stiffer than a flat top, and the f-holes allow it to move in a piston-like way. The bracing adds to this motion. This is nest for the mids. It affects violins and mandolins, as well....

Hmmm... now that I've learned to edge pick I LOVE it, particularly the way that the pick does not catch on the strings nearly as much. I would suggest experimenting with pick grip and angle a bit...
I noticed a huge difference with bone. The tone you're hearing could absolutely be caused by the saddle. I don't recommend bone. It conducts extremely poorly and makes the sound worse imo.
Bruh JC sux bad. What importance is how skilled he is if his music is annoying af? The most formidable multi instrumentalist work I've ever encountered is Elliott Smith's Either/Or album. He...
Gee, I hate to tell off on myself but I've been using them for at least 45 years. That said, they rough-up pretty good after a while. BTW I found a clip where a bassist put hand lotion on his strings...
