That is what is called "relief" my friends.  As close as you can get yet no open string buzz.

sorry for the belated response - yes, I am talking about the action and fretboard relief.  Sorry, I'm perhaps a bit over-proud of having tamed a guitar with zero setup (a terribly constructed bridge, horribly high action, etc.) into near perfection, subjectively speaking of course.  Since this picture was taken I've actually sanded down the bridge (my bridge, not the original one, btw) a little more.  There's a tool from stewmac that has been instrumental in this process; it allows you to sand a bridge to match the exact contours of your top, thereby getting the best tonal transfer; although, I'm not sure if any of you guys have a floating bridge, besides maybe Walker.  I'll get some pics up soon.

Yeah I have a floating bridge on my Equator. I need to take it in for a Setup.
