Where can I get started to achieving the jangly Clean rhythm guitar and soft keyboardish distorted guitar lines?

The lead is definetely neck pickup with the tone rolled back thru a fuzz.  Shouldn't be too hard to achieve.  I always thought the rhythm part was a clean single coil type guitar like a tele or a strat with a little midrange but not too much and not much ambience.  I might have to try this when I get home.

Got it!  Mostly.  I pretty much did this from ear/memory and I've never tried to learn the song before but it sounds reasonably close although I don't quite have the lead melody correct!  Good enough for a demo!

First of all, the rhythm guitar track can be gotten from the excellent patch by 6-8 called "VoxRig" here:

The original sounds like it has a very slight electronic slapback on it but I haven't tried modifying that since this version keeps the rhythm tight and energetic.

The lead patch I put together was an ES-335 with one ES on the neck pickup on the A side and one on the bridge pickup on the B side.  I added a little ambience because the original was so nasal - you can add some fuzz on the A side if you think it's not saturated enough.

What I used for the bass was a six string bass patch that someone here uploaded but I've edited it so much I'm not sure where it originally came from.
