You need to look for a carpentry or wood working shop not a machine shop.
I suspect it will be hard to find a shop that would be willing to allow their tools, chisels saws and such to be rented out more less the shop space. Most wood workers will tell you that they have too much money and time fine tuning there hand tools to allow just anyone to use them. I think the odds are more likely that you can find an experienced builder in your area that my be willing to tutor you but expect to bring your own hand tools.
You may also want to look into a 2 week lutherie course. You pay a set amount and walk away with a guitar you built. In most cases they provide instruction, tools and consumables.
