The USB sub type is specific for the guitar... this would need to be changed in the controller firmware, but that cannot be done because it's encrypted behind the proprietary MS security chip.

Yep, I've been following along as well, and have given up hope; I'm sure the guitar has a specific USB subtype and cannot be emulated with a wireless controller.

However, it is rumored that "Rock Star" releases in November with a Guitar Hero II-compatible WIRELESS controller.  It will be interesting to see how they pull it off...

Based on what I've read from developer comments I believe they're going to make their own wireless solution... as in: it will have a dongle  that you'll need to plug into a USB port much like the PS2's wireless controllers.

So you wont connect it in the same way you connect an official wireless controller.

I THOUGHT I understood why MS wasn't letting 3rd parties make wireless devices (because they wanted to make the only wireless controller) but it makes no sense with the guitar... if MS doesn't plan to release their own guitar I don't understand why they would prevent a 3rd party one from being made
