Necessity is the mother of all inventions they say. No wonder then that this Oilcan guitar is found in South Africa.

Called a "ramkie" and made from an empty oilcan this is one real creative guitar with "free" advertising for the oil company and is a worthy band equipment with the cardboard bass guitar, we featured earlier.

 
"The wooden neck is sometimes stuck all the way through the can; sometimes it is fixed to a wooden "lid" on the top. The 4 to 6 strings (if not of nylon) are made of unraveled bicycle brake wire. The frets are made from U-shaped pieces of wire stuck in the front of the neck. " [via]
