For Wii: Guitar Hero III guitar works just fine in Rock Band 2
CrunchGear — Harmonix just confirmed on its message board that Wii Guitar Hero III controllers will work just fine on Rock Band 2, which is due to be released on November 18. Note that the opposite—using Rock Band 2 guitars in Guitar Hero—isn’t confirmed. via Wii Fanboy

Good News For Rock Band 2 Wii Fans
OhGizmo! — ... pleased to know that it will work with RB2. And chances are a lot of Wii owners did get Guitar Hero III instead of the original Rock Band that was stripped of many features in its conversion for the Wii. So if you’re a guitar only player you can save some money by just getting the Rock Band 2 game. Or get the whole package and have an extra guitar on hand. Either way I’m looking forward to the release for the Wii, November 18. [ Harmonix ] VIA [ Wii Fan Boy ] ...
