It keeps thr string from buzzing when you need to play higher up near the neck joint to body area.
I don't know about this. If the guitar is 14 frets to the body (with no cutaway), that 14th fret would be quite reachable. If nothing else, I use it to play a D chord an octave up (with open D string). I would not be satisfied with fret buzz on that fret.
