Ken Wiles and Ivory Coast
You have to love the Internet. If it weren’t for Facebook, this photo would probably have never made it to our site.
Here is a little nugget with Ken playing his red Gibson ES-335 during a live performance with his band, Ivory Coast.
That’s lead singer, Robyn Green, on the piano. The photo was unearthed by another Ivory Coast band member, bassist John Wallrapp.
Ken wrote about those early days here.

I was going to post you had mentioned Kens guitar as an SG and I believed it was an ES-335. My Brother had a black one, and I had a mahogany one ( you probably don’t remember it )? I noticed on the web site you made the correction from this entry. Nice catch! Peace, Glenn.
Thanks, Glen. Actually one of my old band mates, Tom Kelley, caught the mistake which prompted me to correct it. I knew the SG was a solid body, I just had a brain fart!
