Then again, it would be alot more confusing for the guitarist who wouldn't have perfect pitch to figure out the note a sax player was playing. Given the same circumstances that is. If a guitarist with perfect pitch heard a tenor sax player play a C, he would know to play a Eb on the guitar whether he knew about the tuning difference or not.

That happened to me. My friend who plays thr trombone and I were playing a song, but our music teacher hadn't written any horn lines yet, so, I asked what note he was playing. I think it was G (on the trombone anyway), but when I played my G, uuuuugh. Didn't sound too great. Then I learned about transposition and all was well. :)
