I've never tried the Polymaths but can't think of a reason they wouldn't be a good fit. The vid sounds great as do the clips on BKPs site.

Yea the clips sound very good as well. Instead of split, I can also wire them in parallel.

For tuning that low I’d go 25.5” scale.

Is it really that low? The lowest I would go will be Drop C.

I have been curious about BKP Polymath’s, they might be a good match with the McCarty. As far as I know the bridge sounds a bit dark while the neck is sweet. They would match good with the bright McCarty, also splitted bridge would be interesting.

That sounds great, definitely the sound you are looking for
