What's on the wall
“I want in Topeka for a few months and need some work done on my Les Paul.”
“My husband went to buy Bass guitar strings and Derek assisted us in purchasing the best he recommended.”
“When I came to pick it up I was very positively surprised how much I was charged and when I hooked it up to a store Amp my bass played and sounded just like I bought it new.”
“They also offer lessons and instrument repair, so no matter what your musical need is they have you covered.”

From the reviews
Very helpful and friendly staff. The vibe is exactly what you'd hope for in a music store. Cool people with knowledge to help get what you want and for a good price.
Just stopped by to see the store as I haven't been there before and left with a new classical guitar. Absolutely fantastic place for guitars and drums, great brands, great selection of models, huge inventory, and knowledgeable staff. I wish I had come here LONG ago!
The staff was super helpful and friendly. I brought my kids along, and unlike some stores, it was totally OK for them to jam on the keyboards and drum sets. There was a decent selection of everything we were looking for, from harmonicas to banjoleles to steel drums.
I’m very grateful for supersonic music, their helpful employees and awesome repair guy RJ. He was accommodating, knowledgeable and took his time to tell me what he did, why, and all of that. Also, just an awesome store. Many good things to look at new and used.
Selling or trading gear at Supersonic Music
Supersonic Music 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.
Lessons at Supersonic Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Supersonic Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
