Gibson CS Pat Martino and other small body gibson semi-hollows

I have been on the lookout for a solid humbucker style guitar like a LP but with a bit more openness to help cover some of the cleaner funky motown rhythms but still be able to get nice thick humbucker leads.  Single coil guitars are obviously best for the chanky rhythm parts, but don't like the noise and thinness for overdriven leads and/or power chords.  I am not under the illusion that I am going to find a guitar that can absolutely 100% cover any and all sounds. 
My starting point is lead tone.  I gotta be able to get the sound I want for leads i.e. vintage style humbucker (PAF, burstbucker, 57 classic, etc) from there i simply need the guitar to perform adequately on the clean stuff without being too muddy or dark.  I currently use a 2001 PRS Custom 22 with Lollar PAF's and a 3-way toggle installed in place of their 5-way selector. (never was a big fan of the 5 way rotary knob and never really liked the tone of pos 2 or 4 so I had it moded to a 3-way LP style switch to remove the unnecessary wiring for pickup positions I was never using)

I've bee told by two different friends of mine who's opinions on gear I really respect that the Gibson Custom Shop Pat Martino Sig. Model is just really really special.......(which is funny cuz Martino is a jazz cat with really flat mellow jazz tone which is cool for his thing) HIS particular sound is not at all what I am going for but they both know that and said its really nice at doing what Im looking for.
But, I have read several reviews and some say its darker than a LP some say its brighter and honkier than the LP (which is what I would expect being semi-hollow. Reviews for this guitar aren't really helping me.

Any of you have any experience using it in a variety motown, rock, R&B, blues, funk, soul, etc band.
I need to sound amazing for singing leads of course and respectably do well with funky chanky cleans, a few country-ish tunes (honky tonk woman, Lets give em something to talk about, etc) blues, R&B, classic rock stuff (zz top, ac dc, black crows) and a couple of higher gain heavy power chord songs.

Ive also heard good things about the Paul Jackson Jr. Signature model which apparently is very similar.  Its based on the ES 346 I think or the 347 cant remember.  Same kind of smaller carved out 335 kinda thing.

Unless I can become convince that either one of these is far superior and well worth the extra money, I might just go with the ES 339 which I think is also based on the ES 346/336 idea of a small ES 335 thing but built even more like a 335 in terms of woods used for the top back and sides.  The 339 seems awesome.  I have no problems getting one instead of the sig models stuff.  I just don't want to spend $1,500-1,800 on a 339 and then find out i should have spend a little more and gotten something far superior.  The price range of the two aforementioned signature models are approx.  $2,100-3,200. 

Any input will be appreciated!

Man if I ever won the Power Ball I would be cash broke by week's end but have so many guitars amps and pedals that I would never have to go through this charade of picking the right guitar, amp, or pedals.  I would own them all. 
......That would look pretty funny actually seeing a band at a wedding or a bar and there's me in the back of the stage playing Brick House on one of my several 59 les pauls into a wall of dumbles, marshalls, and fenders
