Eric Clapton donated the first major piece of memorabilia

Much like King, some passable guitarist named Eric Clapton was a regular at Hard Rock. One day, he asked Tigrett to hang his guitar over his favorite bar stool to "mark his spot" -- and word traveled fast. Just a week later, Pete Townshend sent one of his axes over with the note, "Mine's as good as his! Love, Pete." That's how the memorabilia collection was born, and also how Clapton and Townshend's bitter blood feud began.

I have to apologize, I didn't realize the posting of the video was meant to be the answer to the question. As shown above, dirtmudd answered correctly!

Django for sure. It defined how he played his instrument and approached music and made him one of the most influential guitarists of all time.

 

This is not a good good question, though, because there have been numerous musicians playing  without various fingers, arms, legs and such.  "Three Fingers Willie" comes to mind. 

 

How about something simpler, but not as simple as you think.

 

Who had the number one US  album by sales of all time?
