String action could be to low maybe and the note is getting fretted out. A sound sample would help me give better advise. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

If so, is it set perhaps a little too high? edit: Just gave it a listen and that really sounds like the magnetic elements in your pickups are influencing the vibration of your strings. I'd still check to make sure you didn't enable an overly-zealous noise gate effect as well, just in case. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you really think this is a problem, you move the pickup down (with either the screws that humbuckers have on the individual holes, or you can use the screws on your pickup rings.) I have had a sustain problem, and I think one of the best ways to solve it is actually the strings you are using. If you are using very light guage strings, then the high notes will not be as powerful. Ibanez guitars come with really thin strings (probably 9's), so you might want to buy thicker strings next time. However, this makes them harder to bend.
