[wolverine92]

Impossible because... it's just silly.
While both consoles use bluetooth they encode everything completely different and neither Nintendo nor Sony would give out their bluetooth encoding and it's all too hard
You could probably hard mod a wiimote on that thing somehow but no.
Impossible.

i absolutely hate i repeat HATE how most gba-tempers are responding to questions other user ask. no question is stupid no question is silly. come on guys and girls nobody was born with the whole knowledge of mankind. if you don't want to answer, please don't. as simple as it is.

back to topic:

GUITARS

The guitars addressed here are: Rock Band 1 Stratocaster, Rock Band 2 Stratocaster, Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul and Guitar Hero World Tour guitar. Third party guitars have compatibility information on their websites.

Guitars compatible with Rock Band 1: Rock Band 1 Stratocaster, Rock Band 2 Stratocaster

Guitars compatible with Rock Band 2: Rock Band 1 Stratocaster, Rock Band 2 Stratocaster, Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul and most likely Guitar Hero World Tour guitar (evidenced by it working with the Les Paul compatible AC/DC track pack)

Guitars compatible with Guitar Hero 3: Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul, Guitar Hero World Tour guitar

Guitars compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour: Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul, Guitar Hero World Tour guitar

NOTE: No instruments except for the microphone are cross-platform. Only Wii guitars will work with Wii games.

DRUMS

Drum sets addressed are: Rock Band 1 Drum Set, Rock Band 2 Drum Set, Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Set

Drum sets compatible with Rock Band 1: Rock Band 1 Drum Set, Rock Band 2 Drum Set

Drum sets compatible with Rock Band 2: Rock Band 1 Drum Set, Rock Band 2 Drum Set (World Tour Drum Set does not work with the AC/DC track pack, so we can extrapolate that it won't work with the final game)

Drum sets compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour: Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Set

Once again, the drums are not cross-platform.

MICROPHONES

As long as a microphone connects via USB, it should work absolutely fine. No matter whether it came in a 360 or PS3 bundle, it'll still work for Wii. However, some third-party microphones apparently do not work, but I don't know which ones.

CONNECTION

The Guitar Hero guitars and drums all require a Wiimote each to be used, while the Rock Band guitars and drums don't, connecting either wirelessly or via wires. All microphones require a Wiimote.

I didn't say the question was silly. The idea of being able to cross platform controllers that are specifically made for one console is silly. What he wants is to use a PS3 guitar on the Wii.
As your text itself states "NOTE: No instruments except for the microphone are cross-platform. Only Wii guitars will work with Wii games." so I answered the question correctly.
Pff; Genius.

the idea isn't silly at all. at least the ps3 uses bluetooth for the communication with its controllers. it would be a problem for the devs to make the hardware cross platform compatible on ps3 and wii.
