Since I belong to and live in India, some of you know that Indian Steel guitar is mostly played on the first 2-3 strings at the most when on stage, while the accompaniment plays the fillers and backing. When practising, the 4-6 strings are used to play the fillers.
So far the most respected guitarists in India is the Late Sunil Ganguly who has been a major motivator for most guitarists, including me. Though I’ve never met him, my style of playing has imbibed his, without my realising. But while the style of playing is of utmost importance, of equal importance is the quality of sound and tone. This is where most of us fail miserably. And this is what I need help from the respected experts in this forum.
I have consulted a few guitarists in India one of whom suggested the Seymour Duncan SH13 Dimebucker as a set (Dimebag). To reconfirm I contacted Seymour Duncan and after a trail of long emails and after I sent them short samples of Sunil Ganguly’s recordings, they advised buying the Model ‘59 as a set known as Vintage Blues.
Point is I haven’t come across any videos or write ups or even this forum mentioning or taking about this product.
While I admit that I have already made the purchase in a hurry as I was getting a good price, I still would like to be sure that the Vintage Blues kit model ‘59 would really deliver the tone almost similar to Ganguly’s guitar (of course playing skills and other aspects notwithstanding).

Any help or tip on this would be helpful to put my mind at rest.
I’m also attaching my OneDrive link to Ganguly’s samples that I sent to Seymour Duncan.

And here’s their response as a screenshot.
