How would you go about doing this?

I have an Ibanez Jet King 1 with selectable pickups.
Boss VF1 effects processor and DP/4.
Various plugs.

What would be the best way to get this sound? Single coil with a echo-delay and spring reverbe emulations?

Tremolo?

Electro Harmonix Stereo Pulsar. 85 bucks. It'll get you in the ball park, for sure.

Telecaster or Strat through a fender amp with the vibrato/spring reverb and turn it up loud enough that it distorts when you hit a chord. The key to the tone is to use as heavy a gauge of string as you can. It makes all the difference when playing clean. It's really not much different than Dick Dale's surf tone. It's just played differently.

You could nail it with a PodXT easy.

I think some of those guys may have tuned down.

Definitely Tele's were used as they were built for Country guitarists.

Tremolo and real spring reverbs (not emulations as they don't sound the same).

Also some of the big vibrato effects were made with the tuning pegs and not a whammy.

Listen to Dwight Yoakam and realize that that sound is still as good today.

...or just put some spaghetti bolognese sauce on them?

Right. That sound is easy to get on my Fender Jaguar Baritone.

As well as heavier gauge, use flat wounds or half flats if you can get them. They have a different tone to std strings. I used to have a knackered old guitar set up with 0.12 Chromas, and got a great sound. As was said, turn up for more 'natural' distortion, rather than necessarily a stomp box.

Esatto!

Getting that Classic Spagetti Western/60s guitar sound.
