I've always thought that it was counter-intuitive to think that hanging it would help the neck. The neck is designed to serve under the tension of the strings, so while hanging the tension on the neck is different than while in use. Over time does it affect it? Who knows, just my crazy thoughts. :)

I will say that my solid ash tele is so heavy as to inspire a little concern while hanging rather than sitting in a stand...my alder guitars seem just fine.
