These usually appear on the odd numbered frets, but also on the 12th fret (the one octave mark) instead of the 11th and 13th frets. Some older or high-end instruments
Zero fret the advantages and the drawbacks of modern guitar manufacturing. The high string tension makes the instrument almost implayable for beginner students, especially for children, and additionally serves to spoil the ear training for harmonies and tone intervals due to intonation errors. Luthier intervention is required in such cases. High string action at the nut is often preferred to avoid string buzz with heavy playing style. The lower fret area is therefore out of tune.
