Here's another short clip of Jerry playing on live TV, early 1960s. He's playing his custom-built 8-string Fender that Leo Fender made to Jerry's specs.
A moment captured it time!

Very nice of course from the master. Curious what tuning he used here.

Re: Jerry Byrd live - A Short Video Clip
I would guess he’s playing C6 or C6/A7. One of the clues is that last maj7 chord at the end. He played that beautiful ending chord on other songs in C6 tuning. Just my guess, without having a lap steel in my hands and trying to play along with the video.
