Left to right a Gold Dream, 2010 Dream Noiseless Special and the 2001 Dream.
Burns London Ltd have used the name Dream in the past for a couple of guitars, including two guitars launched in 2001 The Dream and the Legend Dream described on Trevors site. In 2010 they launched two more the Gold Dream and the Dream Noiseless Special. I have also seen reference to a Dream Noiseless Special Limited Edition but this may just be the same guitar. This was marketed as to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Burns Guitars.
The Gold Dream was originally advertised as above, but the guitar is still available to order now. I suspect the idea
of only making fifty of them was dropped when they proved to be popular, looking at it you can understand why they
became popular. All the reviews I have read and there are quite a few are very positive about this guitar.
Note July 2018
