Wii Rock Band Guitar on PS3? Not Compatible—Technical Reasons & Correct PS3 Guitars

No. The Wii Rock Band / Guitar Hero guitar **will not work on PS3**.

Technical Reasons

Aspect	Wii Guitar	PS3 Guitar
Wireless Protocol	Nintendo proprietary (2.4 GHz, custom)	Bluetooth (HID / Sony spec)
Dongle	None (pairs to Wii console directly)	Required (USB dongle included with guitar)
Button Map	Wii Remote expansion port protocol	Standard HID / PS3 controller IDs
Firmware	Signed for Wii only	Signed for PS3 only

CronusMAX / Titan One / Two: Can translate Wii Remote → PS3 *if* you pair Wii Remote to adapter via Bluetooth, **but** Guitar Hero / Rock Band guitars **don't expose standard Wii Remote Bluetooth** — they use the expansion port on a Wii Remote. You'd need a real Wii Remote + guitar shell + adapter = $100+ latency mess.
No plug-and-play adapter exists.

Guitar	Games Supported	Dongle?	Used Price
Guitar Hero: World Tour / Warriors of Rock / 5	All GH, Rock Band (PS3), Band Hero	Yes (USB)	$30–$50
Rock Band 2 / 3 / Beatles Fender	All RB, GH (PS3)	Yes (USB)	$40–$70
PDP Wired Guitar (Rock Band 4 era, PS3 compat)	RB4 (PS4), RB3 (PS3)	No (USB wired)	$60–$90

**Dongles are NOT interchangeable.** A GH dongle won't work with RB guitar and vice versa. **Keep guitar + dongle together.**

If You Have a Wii Guitar: Sell it ($20–$30) → buy a PS3 guitar + dongle. Only path that works.
