In this video at 0:18, we can see Hampton with a heavily modified Fender Stratocaster with three DiMarzio Humbuckers and a reversed headstock.

This guitar is also mentioned in a March 8, 2016 Interview with Premier Guitar:

[Premier Guitar]: Michael, there’s a video online of “Red Hot Mama” and you’re playing a guitar that looks like a Strat but it has a reverse headstock and it’s got three humbuckers. What is it and how did you get it to sound so good?

[Michael Hampton]: It’s a Strat. I put the left-handed neck on and three DiMarzio Super Distortions—I just went crazy with that guitar. I had an Alembic preamp they made back in the day—that kind of blew out later. I always liked funny cars and hot rods and that’s basically as close as I’m going to get for the guitar [laughs].

Plus, I would just crank the guitar, man. I would turn it all the way up. Most of the time everything would probably be at 10. I guess it came from the pickups itself and the actual makeup of however it resonated. I pulled the saddles all the way back, too, so I could get more flexibility and more play in the string, and it wasn’t intonated correctly. The guitar was intonated with itself—if I hit everything open and you gave me all the strings open on the keyboard, then the guitar would be kind of out. But that might have a little to do with the tone, too, because there was more play in the strings. But it’s got to be those preamps, that Alembic preamp was probably working at the time, and those Super Distortions along with it probably gave it that tone.

Not to give it all up to me, but some people actually say it’s in your fingers. And I guess there is some truth to that, but I’m just trying to stay humble on that one. I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the electronics [laughs]. And the strings probably were definitely somewhere near new. Because I used to change them every two gigs or something, keeping the strings fresh.

in the photo you can see a Jackson RR1T Randy Rhoads Flying V

In a photograph shared on Facebook, Michael Hampton, the guitarist known for his contributions to the genres of Funk, Soul, and Rock, is visible playing a Gibson EDS-1275 Double-Neck Guitar. This image, dating from the late 70s to early 80s, serves as evidence of Hampton's use of this specific musical instrument.

Michael Hampton recorded the 3:00 guitar solo on "(Not Just) Knee Deep" by Funkadelic in 1978 using an original B.C. Rich Bich Perfect 10. This is supported by live performance footage from 1983, where he can be seen playing the same guitar.
