Ray Montee's www.jerrybyrd-fanclub.com/jerrysguitars.htm page says:

The original C-Diatonic:

E D C B A G F E D C

Jerry points out that this tuning requires lot's of "muting" with the right hand; but, is quick to state that its not actually necessary provided one knows how to slant the bar properly.

To my knowledge, Jerry never had a D string in his C Diatonic tuning. Am I wrong?

If he did have a D string (or two), I would like to know if it was tuned to harmonize with G or with A.

b0b, you're correct. Jerry purposely left out the D string and called his tuning "A near diatonic" tuning. It is a 7-string tuning, low to hi: E F G A B C E.
