A fantastic addition to any collection. So the story goes . . . In 1964, Ancil Swagerty hand built his three sound hole Treholipee - a 4 1/2 foot long creature with a long curved neck and Paddle shaped tuners. The Kook-la-lee and Surf-a-la-lee soon followed and a scant 60,000 of the "Kooky Ukes" were produced and sold between 1964 and 1967. Endorsed by Steve Allen and sold in SoCal music stores and Sears & Co. in the late 60's. For the 60's pop culture archaeologist - the Treholipee comes complete with a COOL Rick Griffin cartoon of a hipster shooting a wave and strumming his kooky uke! CLASSIC! A MUST HAVE for any serious Collector.Available now - Not One but TWO Swagerty Specialties Company Vintage Surfer Ukuleles! The Treholipee features all original strings and strap - very nice shape - very few dings or scratches. The Kook-a-lelee has been re-strung and is in fine shape as well. The paddle tuners on both are in excellent condition. Hate to see them go but the collection has outgrown the space. Contact seller for shipping quote. Insurance recommended!
