EBMM guitar buying advice, alternative to St Vincent HH

I’m in the market for another guitar, my main workhorse is a St Vincent HHH stealth black, modded for 500k pots. I was going to get an HH model, as the St Vincent quickly became my favorite guitar I’ve ever played, though I’m now finding I need something else that allows for greater upper fret access. Left to my own devices, you might call me an art rock guy-I move between doom, ambient, modern jazz, and dark pop. Pro-wise, I play in a soul band and a Prince tribute.

So, I’m looking for something, preferably Humbucker based for access to fatter, warmer mid-range tones, but with middle positions that can get really snappy and bright for classic Prince/Nile Rodgers style funk, preferably a 5 way selector. Basically, a substitute for the St Vincent HH, one that has more open high fret access. Currently considering the Silhouette HSH and the Albert Lee. Anything else that might compare? Luke? Steve Morse? Stingray RS?
