This Gibson  “BlueshawK” is signed Dr. John [Malcolm John “Mac” Rebennack], The Neville Brothers [American R&B and Soul group] and the late, great B.B. King.   This Gibson Blueshawk (1996-2006) is designed mainly for blues players (hence the name) and has a semi-hollow body with twin f-holes in the archtop.  It superficially resembles the Les Paul model in that the body outline is similar.  This guitar returned later in 2015 under the Epiphone brand.
