I don't think today's Ventures make a conscious effort toward achieving any particular sound.
Especially when you consider which era's "sound" would you be talking about.

I fact, I'd say that their "sound" has more today with the individual players.  You can easily tell the dif between whomever is playing lead. Don's rhythm style is unmistakeable.  Mel had a unique sound.  Leon can sound like Mel, but he has his own character as well.
