Picked this baby up for $450 today. Would love any info you have. It’s my first G&L. It needs new saddles but otherwise it’s great!

Welcome and great find!

Any clues to its past? Curious as to what happened to the original saddles.

Congrats, nice score!
I can't help much with info although the three bolt neck means it's fairly old. The first Legacys had Seymour Duncan p'ups (but I don't recall how long that lasted). You can contact G&L directly with the serial number and they can give you more details. They're pretty helpful.
Enjoy!!

Nice score. I'm guessing the body markings might be TSN - Tinted Satin Neck, RW - Rosewood, LEG - Legacy. I think those years (1996-1997ish) had the straight "Legacy" text so perhaps the neck has been replaced. That is a complete guess though and I'm no expert. The wiring does look like it is PTB wiring with the 500k treble cut pot and I've seen those similar pots with the dimples in the volume and bass cut pot and smooth treble pot. I can't make out the other markings in the photos. Is the bass pot 1 Meg and the volume 250k?

Hopefully Memo or someone can get you more info based on the serial number.
