Re: looking for this tone plz help

I have to mostly agree with Russell on this.... Chorus for sure and a bit of reverb, but not too much of either.  Just enough presence to give that early reflection kind of depth. Not to sure about the trem though, to me it sounded pretty "clean", just with more presence... if that makes sense.  I'd try to recreate it but my amp and effects are elsewhere at the moment cooling down from the Sunday Jam Session.

Agreed, chorus plus reverb on an electric guitar with a fresh, bright new set of strings.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
