   The pg fits fine though two holes don't line up. They are the two at the waist of the body right where you set the bass on your thigh when playing sitting down. All the other ones line up.  I've no idea why Fender did this.   I'm still trying to decide if I should just drill two holes in the body and be done with it or make/buy a pg with the right hole pattern.  For now it functions just fine.

Scott, you could always just make one with no holes and use double-sided tape.  I did that with my NR and it looks really clean.

The guy I get pickguards from on EBay has offered to make an undrilled pickguard that I add screw holes to, using the Vintera schema rather than the 1974 Fender schema.

Some people cut screw heads from screws and glue them into the countersinks in pickguards if they want the original look but no extra holes in a guitar body.
