These things are cheap and they're meant to be player's pieces, not collectors pieces. Originality doesn't even matter on guitars like these, save that for the Strat-nerds. The bridge and pickup swaps are definitely a VAST improvement over the original appointments, so bear that in mind.
But if you don't like the feel of the neck, thats a BIGGIE. The original wiring harnesses on these are junk anyway, and you can always find period correct pickups on ebay. But based on the neck alone, I'd say pass.

Maybe I should just stick with my hollow body.

BE AWARE that the violin-style piece is HEAVILY modified... no way on earth are the pickups original... and since Teisco/Kawai RARELY used three-position selectors (in favor of kill/rockers-switches), I would suspect that the wiring harness and pickguard are not original either. Finally the bridge, while a vast improvement over what was originally supplied on these, may not be original either; furthermore, if it is a modern replacement, it may be the incorrect width for the neck, causing your strings to potentially rest too close to the edges for comfort.
If you want a PLAYER'S piece, not a collector's piece, I'd say go with the violin; even cheaper modern pickups are more stable that those with which this piece would have originally been equipped.
