From the reviews
I was completely satisfied with my transaction at this business. Every one was so kind and understanding. They took their time and gave me the best service. I highly recommend them. Thank you for. a great experience.
Santa Barbara Loan & Jewelry is hands-down one of the coolest shops in downtown Santa Barbara. It’s not the “typical pawn shop” vibe at all—this place feels more like a curated treasure hunt with the energy of a boutique.
Store is awesome full of everything that you could ever need whether it’s tools, comic books, games, computers and good general vibe! The staff are friendly and patient, willing to help with whatever you need and make a very welcoming atmosphere! Highly recommend would give more stars if I could!

Get better prices as I alway so when I want to buy nice jewelry go to a pawn shop ! ) sales man “ Ash , hook me up good on that special gift for my wife and made sure o was happy with my purchase !
Selling or trading gear at Santa Barbara Loan & Jewelry
Santa Barbara Loan & Jewelry comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
