Question about wireless guitar choices for Wii Rock Band
Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I can't seem to find the info.
Is there another (by which I basically mean cheaper) option for snagging a wireless guitar for the original Wii Rock Band than buying the $60 - $70 official Rock Band Guitar?
Only other, cheaper choices I really see are these "third party hardware designed for Wii" wireless guitars I sometimes see offered on ebay. Anybody know anything about these?

Re: Question about wireless guitar choices for Wii Rock Band
I think I've read that the Nyko Frontman for Wii is a nice unit. I have the PS3 version, and it was good quality but not quite as good as the Guitar Hero Les Paul...likely better quality than the Rock Band Strat based on my experience and hearsay.

Re: Question about wireless guitar choices for Wii Rock Band
Here's a compatibility matrix

I don't have Rock Band, but recently picked up a couple of wireless GH 3 Guitars for $10 each at a recent sale at Meijer. Per the matrix those should be compatible. Unfortunately that sale is not currently still happening.
You'll just need to watch prices, including clearance prices at Target, etc. Checkout CAG, as that's where I saw the Meijer deal.
I probably should have picked up a few more at that price just in case one breaks.
