![Swagerty Singing Treholipee 1960s Ukulele]()
I have a swagerty singing treholipee (1960's) ukuele. This guitar will need refurbishing and tuning keys, other than that, it is a cool piece of california surf scene in the 60's. Wedge-shaped plywood body with musical staff graphic and note-shaped soundholes, set neck with black plastic fingerboard with integral frets, large scythe-like headstock, 4 black plastic friction tuners as the story goes, the headstock is meant to be stuck into the sand while you surf, keeping it handy for the big kahuna ot croon to frankie and annette after the big wipe-out, good sound, made by the swagerty specialties company of san clemente, ca. Swagerty was a san clemente california based manufacturing company in the 1950's-70's, nad owned by ancil swagerty. It's full anme was swagerty specialties company, artistry in woods. The swagerty company manufacturde many oddball instruments such as the surf-a-lay-lee the kook-a-lele, as well as the singing treholipee. A patent was granted for treholipee in 1966. Swaggerty had its hay dya in the sixties with endorsements from celebrities of the time. Advertiesments claimed the treholipee could be tuned. As uke, tenor banjo, plectrmu banjo, tenor guitar or baritone uke! The treholipee and the kook-a-lele had pointed extended headstocks that, according to advertising materials, allowed the instrument to be stuck into the sand when the surf was up. The surf-a-lay-lee was shorter, presumably to allow it to be played while on a surfboard, although no mention was mdae of it being waterproof. It is said that the first instrument was made as a wall decoration, (swagerty was a wood worker) and after a friend mentioned that it would not take much to get it playable, the idea was born.
