Are the outside diamonds on the Stringmaster D8,T8, & Quad all the same size?
I know that the inside diamonds are the small ones.
My T8 outside diamonds measure 2 1/8" sides, center height of 1 1/2".
Thanks!

| Yes. I'm pretty sure I have a spare set of the outside diamonds if you haven't bought any yet. I know I don't have the inside ones though. |

Thanks Jeff!
I suspected that they were so I am glad to know that I do not need to chase different diamonds.
So, how are you tuning your beautiful red Quad these days?

Sadly, not getting as much use out of it as when I first got it - keeping a 9 piece western swing band together wasn't easy and then the pandemic hit...
But I was happy with the tunings I settled on - A6, Leon's E13, my E13/A9 hybrid (basically E13 with a high G# but flattening it to a high G instead) - these are what I use on my triple necks - and for the 4th neck a D9 (I have this next to the A6 neck and sometimes jump back and forth between them).
By the way, if you can't find those diamonds, I cut some from pickguard material for my orphan single neck Stringmaster and I think it looks pretty good (surprised Leo didn't do this in the first place as he was a big fan of saving money).
