2 7620s 
Don't own one, but the 1527s are nice guitars for sure.

Supposedly the 1527 is better in build quality. But i would get a used 7620 for way less and pimp it out with some pimpin pups since the 1527 had shitty pups.

1527s are basically an update on the 7620. The original Lo Pro Edge, being replaced by the Edge Pro on the 1527s.
Most would say that the Lo Pro is superior to the Edge Pro (due to locking studs and overall feel), in any case I love them both. I love all Edge bridges in general... except the Edge Zero because I have yet to own one...
Both have the V7 and V8 pickups (decent stock pickups), and most players usually replace them anyway.
Either way you can't go wrong. Both are great guitars.

i love my first 1527 that much i got another two.my first one is dead stock and i have evo7 in the bridge of the other two
It's hard to say really, because the RG 7620 has been around longer and hence has had more time to build up a reputation.
Both are extremely well made and can be modded to be a pro level instrument. Some people even keep the stock pickups, just a matter of personal preference.
Price wise, the RG 1527 is over priced IMO, you should look into a used model to get real value for money for a 1527.
Well, find out what condition each guitar is in.
Taking into account just age, an RG 1527 is more likely to be in better shape and less worn.
But on the other side of the coin, the RG 7620, in stock form at least, came with better pickups in the first place.
Having owned RG762*s I can honestly tell you that the RG1527 has better build quality. I'd go for that one easily considering that it's a straight trade. Also, do not take pickups into account, since nearly every Ibanez has rubbish pickups in them that need to be changed ASAP.
Also, the RG3120 is easily worth BOTH the RG1527 and the RG7620. That's a seriously nice guitar.

It's hard to say really.
I've seen RG 3120s go for about 750 USD, which is about the same price as a RG 7620.
I'd say the average 3120 is probably more around 1000 USD perhaps, so a RG 7620 traded with some cash is a reasonable deal.

I think im leaning towards the 1527 because he upgraded it with an EVO 7 in the bridge and took out the neck pickup and filled it with basswood and installed a chrome pickguard and refinished the guitar white, it looks pretty awesome. ill let you guys know what happens!

A while back I thought of selling off my 1527 for another 6 string and I sure as hell thank god i did not do so. Now I'm loving it like crazy and is my fav out of the three guitars that I have. Now...if only I had some extra cash lying around to change my pickups to blazes... >
