Turns out the tone pot was fine spline whilst everything else was coarse spline, which is why it sat up so high. Then read up on splines, and found out the screw caps don't need either, and remembered my ltd had screw on ones (aftermarket), so swapped them around, and blamo. Perfect.
Liberator is in, just need to wire it all up.
So, soldering iron is in order.
Though, going to take it up to mega music tomorrow or friday to get a tusq nut and a good setup. Hoping the intonation isn't fucked by the neck placement, but see how we go.
Also going to pay for tuners tomorrow, so will pick them up on the way to mega, and install them so I have some tuners for them to set up with, hah.
So very very close.
Just need to do the finishing touches
