They aren't. You might be talking about the frets, which has to do with the physics of a vibrating string. Cutting a string in half increases the pitch one octave, so you need to shorten the length of the string less as the string shortens to get the same change in pitch.

When you pluck the guitar where does the sound energy comes from?
When a string on a guitar is plucked, in an acoustc guitar, the body of the guitar is built to amplify the sound that the vibrating string creates, the sound is then released through a sound port located on the body of the guitar below the strings. On an electric guitar, the strings vibrate towards what is known as a "pickup" located on the body of the guitar. The pickup amplifies the vibrations of the strings. All sounds that a guitar makes is based on where the fingers of the guitarist are on the frets and how well-tuned the guitar is.

Guitar has three main parts: guitar body, neck, and a head. Guitar head has tuning pegs which are used to tighten the strings. Guitar neck has frets which are used to shorten the string and produce different pitches. Guitar body is where the sound is produced. Guitar body has three main parts: the top (soundboard), back, and sides. The top has additional different parts: sound hole (a cutout in the body through which the sound comes out), rosette (does not have any sound-producing purpose, but ornaments the sound hole), bridge (holds the strings on the lower side), and saddle (transfers the vibrations from the strings to the soundboard).
