World's simplest truss rod routing jig, just a piece of plywood to rest the router edge guide against. Went much better than expected! I put those mini clamps there to prevent from routing too far and ruining the headstock. Just a small amount of adjusting the width with a 6mm chisel was needed to fit the adjustment nut part.
