I initially thought the truss rod would need to be tweaked.

It may. Check straightness of the neck with a straightedge, or by pressing the string down on the first and 12th frets. You need a tiny amount of clearance (relief) at the 5th or 6th fret. This is usually about 0.006", or the thickness of two sheets of paper.
Adjust the relief with the truss rod
before modifying the saddle.
