The Rickenbacker RickTone 19 is a transitional model in the RickTone line, incorporating design elements that bridge the brand's earlier postwar construction with the more modern approach of the late 1950s rock and roll era. Its circuit provides a clean, detailed tone capable of handling both Hawaiian steel guitar and the then-emerging electric Spanish guitar styles. The RickTone 19 is among the rarer of the numbered RickTone series.
