Guitar is using G clef ottava bassa (by default), or needs to be made an octave transposing instrument.
If you need notes an octave higher, switch from G clef ottava bassa to a nornal G clef. Or use an ottava line

I can't see anythiong wrong with your sample score, looks correct to me. It does start with a G clef ottava bassa, just as it should.

But in measure 13 is switches to G clef ottava alta, 2 octaves higher, that doesn't seem right, intended?
