Shape Orchestra Model 588S-MT-CEB acoustic guitar - Bold design meets massive sound quality

The Shape Orchestra Model 588S-MT-CEB acoustic guitar is part of an extraordinary series that is characterized not only by special designs, but also by uncompromising quality and well thought-out construction. Marked by the leading "5" in the model name, this line stands for innovation, courage for aesthetics and a new sound dimension - without sacrificing the proven tradition of a solid top.

An outstanding feature of this guitar is the solid spruce top, which has been finished with a wafer-thin spalted maple laminate. This design statement not only improves the visual effect, but also allows the sound of the solid top to develop unhindered. Numerous tests prove this: The fullness of the sound remains, while the appearance gains significantly. In combination with high-quality components such as the Fishman preamp, a comfortable cutaway and a wide 46 mm nut, the 588S-MT-CEB is not only beautiful, but also absolutely suitable for the stage.

Shape Guitars - Innovative design with hand and heart

Shape Guitars is a brand that has made a name for itself through its love of experimentation and high quality. During the development of the 588S-MT-CEB, it became clear just how willing Shape is to break new ground - both in terms of materials and design. The bold step of using spalted maple as an optical laminate on a solid spruce top shows the signature of a manufacturer who sees sound and aesthetics not as opposites, but as one.

The guitar's neck also demonstrates attention to detail: a five-piece mahogany neck with volute offers stability and a pleasant playing feel. The characteristic Shape Signature headstock, framed with maple, adds the finishing touch to the instrument. With this series, Shape is definitely breaking new ground - and setting standards in terms of innovation, quality and value for money.

Technical details of the Shape Orchestra model 588S-MT-CEB

The guitar is based on the Orchestra model, which is known for its balance and versatility. The combination of a solid spruce top and Canadian spalted maple for the back and sides produces a clear, articulate sound with a warm fundamental tone and brilliant trebles.

The Florentine cutaway allows easy access to the high frets - ideal for soloists and modern playing techniques. The top is equipped with Scalloped X bracing, which optimizes the vibration properties and increases the resonance. The integrated armrest also ensures a comfortable playing position.

For the fingerboard, Shape uses Purple Heart, bound in mahogany - not only a visual highlight, but also stable and durable in terms of sound. The 20 stainless steel frets in a round design and abalone dots ensure longevity and style. The nut width of 46 mm offers plenty of room for fingerstyle players, while the scale length of 650 mm allows for classic string tension.

Another highlight is the Fishman Sonitone pickup system, which is discreetly integrated and delivers a natural, clear sound via amplifier or PA. The Indian rosewood bridge is complemented by ebony and abalone pins and ensures a secure hold of the strings and excellent vibration transmission. Shape also relies on quality for the nut and saddle materials: bone, compensated, ensures optimum intonation and sound transmission.

The entire guitar is finished with a vintage matt finish that beautifully accentuates the grain of the spalted maple. The vintage open-style tuners in silver round off the overall look in style.
