Yes and no. The Guitars shape itself is irrelevant completely to a Electric Guitar except size, the strings tightness affects the tune. Likewise for acoustic except the more/less hallow the guitar, the more/less reverberation(echoing) occurs.

No, the only thing that affects the sound of electric guitars are the pickups, the strings, the amp and/or footpetals. the weight and shape of the guitar have no effect on the sound

I say no. Because all of the sound is generated through the pick-ups. Now the material that the neck is made of will affect the tone of the instrument.

Typically the more mass a guitar has the more sustain it will have. Also if the guitar is made of a dense material it is likely to have a brighter sounding tone.

Does the shape of an electric guitar effect the sound or playability in the solos?

The shape of an electric guitar does not affect the sound, but it may affect the playability. The sound of an electric guitar is more related to the pickups and your amplifier than how it is shaped. However, the shape may affect how comfortable you feel with the guitar and therefore may affect your ability to play it. For example, some guitar players do not like the Randy Rhoads shaped guitars because when they sit down to play it is not comfortably on their legs like the traditional shape. However, as you become more proficient at playing, soon the shape will not affect the playability either. You will be able to play any shape since they all have one thing in common--a neck with strings.
