A lot of Taylors ship in very playable condition without need of a set up in comparison to other brands. An electric is a different animal and with every one I've bought I've gotten a set up included in the sale.
With string bending at the lowest frets - for instance in an E blues, bending the G string from the 2nd fret (A) up to the 4th (B) is an easy job on a strat, but much less so on an acoustic. Even if you have the strength, too much of that'll knock the guitar out of tune pretty regularly. So in acoustic blues you're more likely to hear hammer ons and pull offs used. In that same example you could include a semitone bend up to the B from the Bb on the 3rd fret, and then pull off Bb, A and open G, down to the E on the 3rd string. Similar effect but much more suited to the acoustic.
