Interpol – Turn On The Bright Lights

Daniel Kessler plays a 1967 Epiphone Casino in a burst finish with a Frequensator Tailpiece. He can be seen playing it in this video of Interpol performing Leif Erikson live. Around the 3:15 mark the guitar can be seen pretty clearly. Kessler's Epiphone has black knobs and nickel hardware.

One of the indicators of this guitar's particular model year is the 19th fret neck/body joint.

In an article, he confirms it's a 1967: "I have a 1967 Casino for some of our older songs. I’ve been using Casinos since Turn On The Bright Lights. That and my 1960 Anniversary are basically the only two guitars I’ve played throughout my entire tenure in Interpol." (original source here, article dated March 31, 2015)

In the video above, a nice view of the guitar can be seen around 0:20.

In the pre-Turn on the Bright Lights days, Kessler used a range of guitar's and one of these was a burgundy red Epiphone Casino from 1967.

"They had a beautiful red burgundy Casino. It was actually for a pretty good price considering it was from 1967 or something. The guy was a friend of the band and gave me a really good deal. It was the guitar I used for all of Turn on the Bright Lights."

Kessler also talks about how his 1967 Epiphone Casino was stolen in a 2004 interview with Nardwuar.

In this quote from Peter Katis, the producer for TOTBL and Antics, he says, “The band have used Fender amps from the beginning, augmenting their sound on their debut with a handful of pedals and preferring pedals to amp reverb, with the humble Alesis MicroVerb featuring heavily on TOTBL: “Cheaper reverbs have a sound that is darker and messier and cooler…” said Katis. “Without that little $50 piece of gear, the record would’ve sounded totally different.”

In this screenshot from an article, Daniel Kessler can be seen talking about how the signal of his guitars is weak, and he needs to dress the sound up with effects: "But I’m also very lazy with effects. I use a couple of overdrives, a Boss DD-5 and an Eventide Space pedal, which is a new thing that I like. It's better than any analogue." (original source here, article dated March 31, 2015)

In this screenshot of a forum thread peter Katis himself answers fan questions about his recording techniques and gear, including what he used in Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights." He mentions tracking the guitars through his Telefunken V76 microphone preamps. He says:

I think all the guitars (live and overdubbed) were tracked through my first (and possibly coolest) set of outboard preamps, Telefunken V76s with no EQ or compression to my old, now deceased STUDER A80 2" 24track tall body/Ampex 499/30ips. Too much info??!
