I know it is not the most sensitive mic and doesn't do much above 13 kHz
or so. Could you clarify what else it is about the SM 58 that you
dislike ?

They never sound 'clean' and pop badly when used close on the voice. The
very thing they're designed for.

I'm hoping to use it for vocals and maybe acoustic guitar.

Is this for recording purposes or for live gigs? Those requirements are
very different.
