Answer

It means that now it is traditional. A short while ago the acoustic set was something new, but now everyone has one.

Answer

It is a "play on words."  Non-traditional is a familiar term that means not traditional or not customarily done or used.  We use this term often.
I suspect now-traditional is meant to indicate something that many still consider non-traditional,  which the person making the statement wishes you to believe has now become ordinary is is therefore currently, or "now", traditional.
