Well I'm a guitar player more for my own intertainment than anything and like anything else you do for fourty three years you get pretty good no where near the best but you learne what type of equipment is the best you learne witch equipment that is.cost friendly and you also learne what kind of equipment that is way over priced and in no way lives up to its name witch is more of a brag then anything and well guitar equipment is no different and gets to be extreamly expensive so from there you have to figure out a way to buy the top Ranked equipment in a price range you can afford i mean just think if you get to be a super star you also become rich and theres equipment out there that only an extreamly welthy person can afford new witch brings us to this tube guitar amps are by far superior equipment. But a new off brand tube Amp with a new to the market brand name that no one has a clue of there build quality or if it will last for any length of time witha 12 inch single speaker will be around 500.00 so you learn to keep money put back and be ready for a deal and most people will spend thier intire life in the used market for all of the reasons listed above well that being said i had saved up a small nest egg and had a free day from work and chores and had seen most of the used equipment available in longview Tyler marshall and gladewater but a guy i knew had told me about some equipment he had seen available and that there were saverale tude amps in this pawn shop somewhere around here but he wouldnt tell me where man thats cold but anyway i knew i had seen everything in east texas pawn world except the one shop in white Oak texas so i did some digging came up with the no. Made a call and the man verified he had everything that guy I knew told me about and more so I headed rite down there to J&L and walked in told him who I was he showed me most everything except there was some in his storage he was extreamly helpful was understanding of the amount of time I needed to check all of this vintage equipment out told me when I could see the stuff from storage and it was there when he said it would be and I think eventually I bought every piece of vintage equipment he had well I think I mite have missed out on one piece or it may still be there waiting on me oh and he made corrections on the price of everything he could heck after that he's been a regular stop for anything I need that's bought better used and somethings I buy new it's just one of the friendliest places I've ever been. Oh and I think I forgot to mention that some of the very best tube guitar amps out there you can no longer buy them new intact some of the you haven't been able to buy new since the 50's and some since the sixty's and some since the 70's even more since the 80's and if you think that's crazy when you fall in love with guitars it gets really wild and there are some people that do the super search for guitar peddles and speaking of I do believe J&L's carries some of both just call him and ask and him and after this becomes available to read I'm gonna have to increase my no. Of visits to catch the good stuff well Good day my fellow Guitarist and happy hunting read more

Best pawn shop around! Good selection of guns and good prices. If they don't have the gun you are looking for, they will get it and they give you better prices on merchandise unlike those other big chain pawn shops. Locally owned and operated and this is where I do my gun shopping. Good people and friendly service! A+ read more

If you want honest service this is the place. I've known the owners for many years and they are honest Christian men who deal fairly with all. Drop by for a trade or to find a good deal on a firearm or electronic item. read more

I knew nothing about guns. Lindsey took well over an hour to help me make a final choice on a pistol. And he acted as if I were his most important customer at that time. Great folks! Will definitely be back more purchases. Way to go guys! I have told everyone about your customer service. read more

This shop is THE place I go for my firearm needs. They always have a nice selection to choose from, and if they don't have something to interest you, they can help you get what you need. And if its a legal, quick, hassle-free transfer you need, J & L Cash Depot will handle that, too. I have been using this shop for a good while now, and it is consistently competent and well run. You won't be disappointed. read more

Good friend down on his luck pawned his family heirloom rifle. Was moving out of town and owed me some money. Gave me the pawn ticket to pick up, and the owner refused to honor the ticket, offering instead for me to wait out the pawn and come buy it from him for a higher price later. I have CHL and would pass any background check, he simply refused to honor the terms of the agreement on his own pawn ticket and the ATF regulations. I would not trust this type person with any of my business. read more
