Well depending on what you got of course...try using a bit of vibrato to help keep the sustain. I'm sorry I really have no problems with sustain. What do you play? I got a Gibson LP with new humbuckers. The Dimebucker I put in it can just go for days.

yep they're not 32 lol theyre 38.
these are d'addario extra light strings i was so scared to put em on!
they're
.008 .010 .015 .021 .030 .038
my first d'addarios. imho theyre better than the ernie balls i always bought but cost a buck more. the lightest ive ever gotten also.
i also managed to get the string action to 4/10 of a centimeter..

well how i play, they barely buzz ever unless i hit hard. since i hit the strings with my pick at an angle, it gets out a good tone without all that vibration.
