Hello guys,
Thanks a lot for your answers!

One thing I know is that I'll never go back to an unwound third string for C-standard. It just sounds so much heavier and crunchier with the wound 3rd, and I have no trouble bending it.
What is your Hagstrom's scale ? 24.75" ? The EJ22 seem to be a good option though.

That's a good question, I didn't realise they are only a half step apart.
Also, I've just seen these strings

When I was visiting the Daddario website, another question came to my mind : did you ever use some flat wound strings ? Flat wounds are recommended for jazz etc. but with the warm sound, it can be cool for doom, no ?
