The thread is here:
So I don't know that you can draw much of a conclusion from the pickups, as they were apparently used on several different guitars in that time frame, probably all from a common supplier. These have rectangular pole pieces on the slug coils, sort of unusual I thought, until folks started posting photos of guitars similar to mine.

I have no idea who the distributor Masada is, but I do have an idea of who may have built your guitar. I've tried to lighten your pictures a bit, but I still can't see the detail needed for a more confident ID.
To me, it appears your guitar may be a rebranded Greco. Here is a picture of a Greco EG-200 from 1968. Your guitar appears to share several characteristics with this instrument. First, the tailpieces are the same/similar. It also appears the the pickups might be the same/similar. From what I can see, the neck inlays appear to be the same style.
So, far from a positive ID but it might get you started.

Just get a couple of cheapo G clamps from your local hardware store, and a bit of woodglue (not superglue...) and stick it all back together. There's plenty of further info online, but it's really piss easy.
I snapped the headstock clean off one of my guitars and sorted it. Luckily for me it doesn't really take much skill!

The neck plate only says "Made in Japan." There is no other information on the guitar and I see nothing in the f-hole. Nothing on the tuner covers.
It recently fell off it's stand and cracked the neck such that tuning all strings at once is impossible. Guitar shop said it's not worth fixing while simultaneously telling me they knew nothing about it. I'm going to try to put an aftermarket LP neck on it. *shrug*
Any information about this guitar and/or Masada would be awesome.
Thanks, all.
Robert
