wow, good luck, that's an interesting project for sure. Truss rod goes inside, so either you must make a cavity for it, or buy a premade one, or make larger cavity and then insert a truss rod and over it some other wood, like rosewood. I don't know what type of neck you are building...

i think its better to order one than to build it cause after installing you will see some
notes out of tune specially in frets 12 and up |

Trussrod is needed for sure. Get one that fits the length of your scale. There are also ones that needs a sloped routed canal others go into a straight canal.
