Trad Music has been around in Wakefield for around 15 years now i think, if not more. Maybe the name is a bit 'vannilla' but then again this shop does exactly what it says on the tin. They offer a small selection of used and new budget and amateur instruments, with a small selection of new professional acoustic instruments where you might spot some real gems. They offer a modest selection of all the usual guitar related goodies such as strings, plectrums, straps blah blah blah and offer guitar tuition from a gigging blues player and set-ups via the owner nick. Gone are the days when Trad would have Gold-Top Les Pauls for sale amongst premium vintage re-issue Telecasters, but the owner Nick knows the Wakefield market and all power to him that he has managed to stay afloat in these hard times. My father bought a solid Spruce Topped Aria Dreadnought from here when I was 18 which is now nearly a good 10 years ago, and it plays better than ever and fit and finish are still like new. It was a great investment at an even better price. I think that they also offer PA systems and drumkits, but don't quote me on that one, and have supported local music festivals for a while now. These guys really love what they are doing, and are pretty humble and genuine at the same time, evidence that they deserve to keep this shop running whilst there is demand. read more
