Please advise on new pickups....!!

Hey folks,

Been posting / lurking here for over 10 years...
I know there are some very knowlegable players here...

I'm looking to upgrade the pickups in my Ibanez AWD82T.
It's a Strat shaped semi-hollow body.....(with 2 humbuckers.)

I want a pickup with good articulation...
I want to keep the "hollow" tones it already gets....
Maybe even enhance that sound.
I also want to have a coil tap put in...
So, I guess it will have to have 4 leads.

I really like Trey Anastasio's tone, if that helps.

Thanks in advance for your ideas...
