A DESCRIPTION OF THIS GUITAR FROM ITS CREATOR, EL DAGA.THE TED NUGENT GLOFLAG  GUITAR.THIS GUITAR REFLECTS ALL LIGHT. ESPECIALLY IN LOW LIGHT AND WITH STAGE LIGHTS. ALL COVERING IS REFLECTIVE.From the words of eld about this guitar:Every time I try to say "Ted Nugent", people hear me say "Ted Nougat" . Do I care? No. As a youngster in Mexico City, I heard "Cat Scratch Fever" and I thought he was saying to get a cat to scratch you if you got a fever. I tried that one time when I was very very sick with a fever. I grabbed the local street cat and started bending his tail while holding him on my chest. To this day, I have a cat scratch scarred belly. La Ninas no like. But I still like Mr. Ted Nugent but still cannot say his name.Last week, I saw a picture of him playing a US flag guitar. I liked that guitar very much and I like the US very much and I like Mr. Ted Nugent very much so I made this guitar.It is a Gibson Les Paul. I have used reflective material to make it look like his guitar but the difference is that mine glows in the dark. It is all reflective on the front and back. I tried a strobe light on it and IT LOOKED LIKE THE FLAG WAS BLOWING IN THE WIND. If you are a big fan of Mr. Nugent, buy this guitar and put it on your wall at home. It will glow in the dark and keep you awake.If you play the music of Mr. Nugent,  you will "shine" on every song.And IF YOU ARE MR. NUGENT, I WILL GIVE YOU THIS GUITAR AS A GIFT.

"A simple, yet complete definition of art" says el daga, an artist who is a true gospeler of "escultra social"-social sculpture- as a term derived from the German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys, who proposed that sculpture, if made from everyday materials and displayed in a "real world" setting, has the potential to affect society most broadly. His concentration is on form and content. eld's work focus on the themes of the transformation of everyday materials, social engagement with the public, and the impact of music, popular media and performance.Most recently, eld has approached the concept of performative art by looking at the combination of art form (as object) that transforms into performance art (content) by use of light and sound with interaction of performance artist. He has adopted the locution "Ephemeral Performative Art" to provide ascription to this current body of work. Eld is serving as the protagonist for this new and refreshing art form. His initial work began as an exploration into what percipients respond to while experiencing a live concert of musicians playing traditional musical instruments. Beyond feeling the throbbing of the musical sounds and hearing the musicality of the performance, Eld quickly recognized the underutilization of the basic principle of sensory stimulation in regard to the performative actions of the artist.   Traditionally the use, and overuse, of lighting and visual effects have become more distractive than contributory to the total pleasurable and meaningful sensory experience of the viewer. Having worked as a visual artist and played guitar, Eld immediately combined the impacts of light and musical instrument to produce truly unique and defining pieces of performative art.   By adhering to his basic philosophy of "escultra social"-social sculpture, he gathered a wide variety of used electric and acoustic guitars and combined them with other commonly available everyday materials to produce his "Ephemeral Performative Art" pieces. He soon coined the monkier "El Reflecto" to describe his first pieces that utilize highly light reflective material on guitars to make them interact individually and specifically to all light sources. With an "El Reflecto"   guitar, the performing artist now becomes an art object him/herself by allowing the guitar to respond and react to all light sources or as he describes it "the guitar receives and transmits light as it becomes an integral part of the performance". Not only is this art form revolutionary, it is also totally complementary to any artist performance. Eld has also extended his artistic liberty to the creation of other pieces that combine the complimentary (wood and leather) and contrarian (metal and wood) in single instruments which assume personalities of their own as well as the use of collaging to "recreate" art. Many of these pieces are collaged with images taken from his past experiences and current life events. Eld creates each, and every, piece of his performative art completely from his mindset at the time it is sculpted.    Mostly he will reinterpret existing instruments into a new personality piece. el daga says: "I describe my work as 'interpretive' as well as 'creative', perhaps aptly described as 'recreative' wherein I take an existing work of art and 'recreate it'.""Many times I look at an artist's work and 'listen to it'. Sometimes it is the sound of music (in all of its many forms) and other times it is simply noise. In my new work with musical instruments I have matched artists and, or, specific pieces of art with musical instruments that convey to me the 'music of the art'. el daga's Background-in his words:"Born and lived in Mexico City where I practiced my art while also undertaking the work of a simple laborer interacting with materials and their daily use. It was during that time that I began to see every object before my eyes as art and my work in combining different elements and components as being that which entitled me to the appellation 'ARTISTA' In 1990 I moved into my nightmare-South Central in 1990.  I was there in 1992 when the streets exploded and anger tore at the sky. Nights-days-and the deviland became my home behind a locked and bound door. My torment became manifest in my work. Once the skies cleared and chaos became organized, I took those children of my anguish into the street and burned them at midnight as exculpation of my self-condemnation of my failure as an artist to bring curative restoration to the human spirit.As the fire died and the ashes of my malcontent soul were washed away by a cleansing rain, I turned and walked away with only my hands in my pockets.My venery of self meaning led me across the US and produced a lifetime of regret and hope in only a few months. Arriving on the east coast, I made a new life in the seclusion of the rural south again undertaking the restorative art of the labor of my hands to produce the components of everyday life which then led me to my current dedication to 'escultra social'.I hope you enjoy my work. Each piece is a solitary creation.
