Not that your method doesn't work, but they sell stands that hold a guitar in any position you need it. It's used by performers who play other guitars, but need a different one for part of a song (typically, it's when they need an acoustic part to an otherwise electric number).

You could get one of those, if you could afford it (about $45, is my guess), and have it set up so you could walk up to it, play it, and have NO weight to deal with at all. Of course, you couldn't move it while playing & singing, which might be as much a problem as the weight.

There are also guitar straps that use both shoulders like a backwards backpack harness thingy. I would look those up online, if I had the problem you have.

I also note that you said the problem was with your neck, so a strap that rests on the shoulders would be better.
