So, I have the gear listed, and I've spent a couple days trying to troubleshoot, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
The way I had the hardware set up is: 13 Pin Piezo to Axon Guitar In, USB-B to USB port on compy.
If anybody has any tips, I'd really appreciate it.

I'll take a while guess that 'compy' means computer. What type?
What you describe will get MIDI from your guitar into your computer, but what are you doing with it inside the 'compy?' What music or synthesis software do you have?

You need the driver for the AX50 for the computer to see it. Axon's last set (as I recall) ea V3.1.10 for the .exe application and V7.28.axu for the driver file. They were for Windows XP/32bit systems, but they do run on my W10/64bit  computer.

I have reaper, right now.
If there's a software that's better for midi, I also have disposable income, which is the whole reason I went with an AX-50.
I believe that I had it as a generic midi input.

Quote1. Connect the AXON AX 50 USB to a free USB port (1.1 or 2.0) on your computer and
switch the AXON on.
2. A short time later, a pop-up window will appear to indicate that a new device – the AX50 USB – was found.
The Windows installer will complete the installation automatically.
The device uses generic drivers already present in your system, making it unnecessary to enter a path to a custom driver. After a few seconds, another pop-up will
inform you that the new hardware has been installed and is ready to use.
3. There, you're finished already!

AFAIK  - The AX-50 is USB Class Compliant as a generic MIDI Controller device

Look at EvenHarmonic's GTAK-5 + a old copy of NI Kontakt 5
http://evenharmonic.com/products/gtak
Gtak5 gives MIDI guitar users easy access to over 800 instruments from Native Instruments Kontakt5's 43GB sonic arsenal. Note that Gtak does not support Kontakt6.

Gtak5 runs inside Kontakt5 instruments (as a KSP script), making them work seamlessly with Guitar to MIDI converters.
Comes with versions of over 800 instruments from Kontakt5's standard library tweaked for instant use.
No need to make settings or load one instrument per string. Everything just works.
Customers who have Gtak and Gtak4 can upgrade to Gtak5.

To use Gtak5 you must have Kontakt5 from Native Instruments and a Guitar to MIDI converter, for instance the Fishman TriplePlay, AXON AX100 or AX50 or Roland GR/GI units.

More information about Kontakt5 is available from the Native Instruments site. In particular, look at the Library Page. Gtak5 comes with versions of most of the instruments in this library except for Retro Machines and the most of the VSL Legacy Instruments.

Before purchasing you should read the License, it tells you what you can and cannot do with Gtak5. For instance you cannot share patches that contain Gtak5 except with other registered Gtak5 users through this site.

Gtak5 is supplied as a download only. The file size is about 50 megabytes.

You must have Kontakt5 and its instrument library installed to use Gtak5.
