A lot of people here claim that they tune their guitar in A=440hz. I hope not! You do realize that you would snap that neck (well strings first probably) tuned that high.

The guitar is NOT at concert pitch, it is one whole octave below. Technically speaking, we are at A=220.

An argument could be made that the fifth fret of the 1st string is 440, but that is not the 'A' above middle C. We are all tuned down.
