To Who Plays What and everyone who's arguing over whether it's a Casino or a Riviera: Daniel plays a 1967 Epiphone Casiera, which is a combination of both. There's little to nothing about it online, but supposedly, it's an extremely rare guitar that Epiphone made in the late '60s.

Here's a picture of the Casiera for comparison:

Quoting Rachup21:
He plays an Epiphone Riviera (not Casino).
On the last LP, he plays a Gretsch 6117T-HT Anniversary

On the gibson forum forum.gibson.com/.../... they seem to think its a Casino (though it is debated)

I was thinking about the neck too, not joining the body the traditional casino way.
There is a good chance that it is not a casino, but a riviera, where the minihumbuckers were changed to dog ear p90s. I wouldn't be surprised, the tone has a more controlled feedback, and that can be because of a solid central block inside the body (as in rivieras and es335s) +the split tailpiece is common on rivieras.

But it can be a casino

what year is the casino? that's a great finish, and I love how the neck ends at the beginning of the body, letting the neck pickup be closer to the edge of the body.
