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)
