XL Scale explained from Ibanez:

"One of the drawbacks to lower tunings on a standard guitar is the loss of articulation; the strings just get floppy" The 27" inch scale provides higher string tension even in very low tunings "so everything stays nice, tight and clear".

These are the original pickups introduced with the RG7620 (DiMarzio New 7 simply renamed to avoid customer confusion. The New-7 and Custom-7 are the same pickups. See "notes" below for more info.
