Which album kicked off Elvis' career and cemented the guitar as the main instrument of rock and roll?

RCA produced Presley's first album "Elvis Presley" for a jaw-dropping $40,000. Still considered a minor at age 20, his father was required to sign the contract for him. They also worked a deal so that songwriters must forgo 30% of their usual fee for the privilege of having Elvis perform their work. The prominent placement of the guitar in Elvis' hands cemented the idea that it was the foremost instrument of rock music.
