Agree with McCreed on needing minimum 6-8 coats before any sanding. Usually each additional coat can cover areas that didn't look so good and these tend to even out after several applications.
50 mm x 50 mm square of T shirt material is generally as big as you need to use, so unless you are a small person, one T shirt should do plenty of guitars.
