This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen... what's the point? I have a wireless guitar hero guitar that works with RB, so why buy one that doesn't work with both?
The RB controller has an extra set of frets, so you can simulate tapping while you play solos. No need to strum the bar as you normally would. Like you, I only have the GH guitar and I'm satisfied enough, though if I needed a second one I'd pick this up over a second GH controller in a heartbeat. Hope that answers your question.

It took me about 2 seconds to find a guitar hero guitar online, for 79.99 and I'm sure you could find it cheaper looking around a bit. (Such as here, which comes WITH GH3: http://www.overstockdealz.com/products.asp?id=047875951235R&referer=google)
I personally don't need to lock myself into using the guitar with only one game, when for a small amount extra I can use it with both.
Am I missing something? Does this guitar also get you a beer while you're playing? Because then I'd buy it.
If not, no thanks.
Some possibilities:
1) People who only play Rock Band and don't play GH, who wouldn't need GH compatibility.
2) People who prefer the Rock Band guitar for one reason or other.
3) People who want the extra frets near the neck for solos or other reasons.
4) People who like having the switch for different effects.

what's that about a switch for different effects??
