Consider a Danelectro. I have a 56-U2 and everyone is shocked at how light it is. I'm not sure of the actually weight since I've never weighed it but they're apparently around 6 lbs. The actions great and it's just plain sexy. Mines one of the first reissues from the early 2000s or late 90s with the wooden bridge. The newer models and the black necked reissues are quite a bit heavier.
As stated, a wider/padded strap will do you wonders.
