"The Cochrans moved in 1953 to Bell Gardens, Calif., where Eddie immersed himself in his increasingly adept guitar playing. In January 1955, at age 16, he dropped out of high school to become a professional musician. Also that year, Cochran acquired the guitar he was most closely associated with, a Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow-body. It was a brand-new instrument (serial number 16942) that he bought from the Bell Gardens Music Center with financial help from his parents. Cochran was very particular about his guitar sound, and he soon modified his 6120 by replacing the DeArmond DynaSonic™ neck pickup with a black Gibson® P-90, which had a warmer, jazzier sound that Cochran liked."
