Is there a problem with the sound of the string? Does it buzz when it oscilates towards the frets?

thats really weird... never seen em do that before... they'res probably just a problem with the nut or bridge, or the string isn't going through the bridge, nut or tuners right. Maybe just tossing the string and putting in a new one will solve it.

Look at the topic for my guitar... Finished Guitar Build Gear: Homemade strat (You still need to look at its topic!) Squier strat (probably going to get rid of it and get another guitar instead) :) Line 6 spider amp (not actually used for anything, just acts as a speaker) Digitech Gnx2 (kind of old, but cheap, and sounds amazing!) |

Old or ruined string sometimes gets the "wrong" way of oscillation,
and it can be only one string from the set, doesn't have to be whole set. How old are your strings? -------------------- Youtube

Yes Muris is right, strings will tend to oscillate differently as they get older, since they get stretched and fill with dirt. If they are new and you experience buzzing sounds and sustain problems you should first change the strings, and if the problem is there again and you cannot play like that, take it to guitar tech to inspect it. They usually don't charge for inspection.

Maybe its time for change anyway, 3-4 months is a lot even for elixirs. You can also try different brand of strings to see if problem persists.If it does the same with new strings, then you should take the guitar to a tech.

Man, you should record a video of that monster-string ! It could be worth millions !
 I have to ask one off-topic question though ... Does it happen that guitarists celebrate their strings' anniversary ?!

I just bought a new guitar, Fender American Standard Stratocaster, and it had Fender Super Bullets strings from the factory
 They're incredibly "slippery", which reduces the chance to mess up your fingers sliding and bending, and also let's your slides sound more smooth, as they aren't interrupted by every fret you pass ! I strongly recommend them, and I bought 12 sets of them for the future !
