I want to use it for guitar making and it seems to be perfect for that. The tops and back of a guitar are always joined from two pieces no wider than 8". The price of $425 seems right (plus $70 shipping).

Very specific question. I don't know about that specific model, but I used to work for a construction company that has a millshop. I ordered a bigger thickness sanded from Grizzly. There maybe better ones, but it seemed reasonable. It wanted to cup the ends of the board, so you had to hold the board up as you fed it in. The sandpaper rolls were expensive and took some time to install. Sometimes the height of the rolls would seem to slip a bit. I'd research some others, but it sounds like a decent deal. Call some millshops, see if there is another brand they suggest.
A better option may be a small planer and using a combination of beltsanding and handsanding. If you already have a planer then sure, go for it. It'll save you some time sanding. Just order extra rolls of sandpaper, they take time to get in, and you are buying this for production. If it is just sitting there waiting for sandpaper, then it is just another expensive toy.

I haven't tried that specific sander, but I've used several of their other sanders (as well as other tools), and they seem to be very good. Grizzly's quality has always been pretty good, so I'd imagine that the sander you are looking at is right in there with the rest of their products. If the tool fits your purpose and the price is right, you will most likely be satisfied if you buy it.
