    It's also worth investing in good quality sandpaper, it makes a big difference. You should change it fairly often as well as it wears down and clogs, making it ineffective.

    But sanding is also just a lot of hard, boring work. It is very worth while, the better job you do now, the better the finish guitar will be.

    The sanding job looks fine to me. Yes you will use a fair bit of it if you are doing a really thorough job, thats normal
