AMC Is partnering with Fender to create “The LeStrat” — a capsule collection of four custom Player II Modified Stratocaster® guitars featured in Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat. The guitars are designed in collaboration with Fender’s experts and the show’s Production Designer, with each piece becoming visually more striking — even bloodier — as the season progresses. The first guitar, “LeStrat: Petit Coup,” debuts at San Diego Comic-Con alongside a surprise musical performance, and the collection is woven into the show’s storyline as props and instruments for the rockstar vampire Lestat. This collaboration blends narrative storytelling with product design to deepen the viewer experience and elevate merchandising into an integral part of the show’s artistic vision.
