Another vintage clip of Grand Funk live doing a classic off of the red album. When it kicks in (4:45)you can recognize the fuzz as the same one from the album. The best I can figure from Googling is that his guitar is a Musicraft Messenger model, and they had a heathkit fuzz unit built into the guitar itself.

Musicraft Messenger guitar Philby...Eastwood guitars...the guys who have reissued all the Airline guitars have a version of this axe on the market, but it doesn't have the built in Heathkit fuzz, so I say WHAT'S THE POINT???
BTW I thought your comment after my frustrated post about the Page bashers was hilarious. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

LOL - can do! JW had a similar response to my opinion.

See, this is when Grand Funk was great, imo. When they added the keyboard guy they lost me, as they seemed to go in a different direction than that cool straight up rock sound I was used to.
