Hm. There seems to be a bit of confusion about the scale length. If you look on the "Neck dimension" link on the RG7EXFX page, it says the scale length is 25.5", but the page itself says its scale length is 27".

Ibanez usually designates their 27" scale models with "XL" in the model name and/or on the headstock.

I was wondering why it didn't have XL on it aswell but on further inspection of where the top horn ends reletive to the fretboard I'd say it's a 27" scale. Notice how the horn goes to around the 13th fret while on a 25.5" the horn goes to the 12th. I remember on my 2077XL that the difference between it and a 25.5" model was around one fret just before the 12th.

One can't say for sure, but it appears a bit longer than a standard Ibanez RG neck, so I think the visual evidence tends to support the 27" scale contention.

I'd go for the 607B, reversed headstock wins it.

No it doesn't. It has EMG 707's and 27”エクストラ･ロング･スケール･ネック (出荷時のチューニングは全音下げ). Whatever the hell that is.
