Maybe it´s not totally flat but perhaps like a very very very little relief ;-) . Much less than like many high end guitars I tried. When you hold down the first and the last fret at the same time, the string is not touching the middle frets but it is very very close... Maybe "the board is not flat," is right , since it takes very little concave curve to eliminate buzz. Also, there are myriad top patterns out there that have engineered stiffness in certain designs for eliminating buzz. The trick is for the master builder to work these issues out with his particular design. Any builder can build a top so stiff that nothing moves adversely, but at what cost to the sound.
