I'd say the Dot. The LP GT is more '50s if you ask me.

n then... what is d character from each type? thanks

Expect the Dot to be mellower, more full-bodied; expect the '56 to sound more like a chunky Strat. Remember all the '60s stars that used 335s... Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Chuck Berry...

 

And what's with the letters instead of words? Very hard to understand your question when you type like that...

oww... thanks... any suggest

Here is a YouTube video that is a fine example of stock Epiphone Dot tone.

I think, in a nutshell, that while the Dot is a very versatile guitar that won't let you down through almost any style of music except perhaps country, the '56 GT, while a very nice guitar, is nonetheless more of a 'one trick pony'. I would buy the '56 to add another dimension to my sonic stable but I'd definitely get something like a Dot first, especially if I already had a Strat in my collection.
