The can guitar is from a French Market can. It plays on the lap and is tuned to a root - five tuning. Has a good acoustic sound a raspy in a nice way electric sound, especially when connected to my 1968 Bandmaster amp. Most instruments tend to sound good with this amp. For what sounds like a can guitar check out the new North Mississippi All Stars Cd.
Square guitar is a cigar tin. It has a nice banjo sound and then gets real gnarly electrically. I think I prefer the tin guitars if I am going to have to amp them. It's a three string. I like the 1-3-5 tuning of the scale. This guitar low to high is an A chord, e-c#-a. Seems a lot of builders like the 1-5-1 tuning but I like the happy major chord sound.
But it's your pick, what tuning to use. What song to play. Just be sure you don't play it like anyone else does.
These guitars are for sale.
