You can have custom boards made using DIYLC.
All the boards I make are available in the .diy library.

The library link is here.
https://el34world.com/charts/DiyLayoutCreatorFiles.htm

You can take any of them and edit them how you like and have a custom board made.

If you take a eyelet board .diy file and want to have turret lugs instead, see the info below.
 
Note: Eyelets have much larger holes inside than lugs and you will probably have to add lugs if you want to stuff parts inside the lugs like you do on an eyelet board.
 
For example:
Below you can see a typical Fender AB763 eyelet board layout.
Note the red circled areas and how many parts are stuffed into an eyelet.

You will not be able to do that with a turret lug because of the hole size
The eyelets I use have a ID hole size of approx. 0.1 inches
The turret lugs I use have a ID hole size of 0.064 inches

In many of the Hoffman layouts you can see how I added extra lugs and laced them together so I could insert parts leads into the turret lugs.
You can see that in the Hoffman layout image below

If you want to take a eyelet board layout and have a custom board made using turret lugs here is how I recommend you do that.

Download a .diy file from the .diy library and edit it using DIYLC
Add extra lugs to your layout where needed.

The .diy analyzer program will let you order a custom board
Go all the way to the last page to add the custom board to your shopping cart.
