Guitar Hero PS3 mod?

I was wondering if it is possible to somehow convert the Guitar Hero controller into a bluetooth wireless controller that would work with ps3. The problem with playing the Guitar Hero games on ps3 seems to be that the guitar doesn't have either the "PS" button. Is it possible to somehow combine the SIXAXIS controller with the Guitar Hero controller to make the controller work on ps3? I don't currently have the game, but I have played the demo in the store and I want to get it, but right now the ps3 isn't really compatible with it (I don't have a ps2). If this is possible I'd like to know how much it would cost someone to do? Thanks. If not, I guess I'll just have to wait until the next one is released for ps3.

Sweet, is it confirmed to work? I know there are ps2 to usb converters and all, but supposedly those don't work as they don't have a "PS" button

Wouldn't the "easy" way be to take the control board out of the Guitar and solder the PS3 controller in its place?

That's what I was thinking, but since I don't know how to do this, the Nyko thing would be good if someone could confirm it works with the Guitar hero controller.

If it doesn't, I was wondering how much it would cost me (I don't have the game/controller either, so that would have to be included) for maybe someone here to do for me?

That sounds like something fun to try, and I'd totally do it, but I don't have a PS3 to test it with. I'm pretty sure there's a couple people here who do though.

I would, but if you think about it, the guitar controller is $40 and a PS3 controller is $50, so it's not the cheapest solution...I'm just gonna wait until they come out with an official solution!

Sweet, this would be just what I need, is it out already? If so, how much thanks.
