Ab Melodic Minor Scale

The Ab melodic minor scale (also written G#) — Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F G — mapped across the whole guitar neck.

Also written G# melodic minor. G# and Ab are the same pitch, though spelling it from G# would need double accidentals (G# A# B C# D# E# F##), which is why Ab is the name in use.
