While I agree most of it comes from the fingers, there are certain guitars which naturally sound more 'suitable' for the blues.
Have to admit the tone of my 43' LG-2 just oozes the blues, you can literally feel it in the guitar.
My 00-15 also is right up there, along with most of my other Gibsons.
On the other hand I just dont feel the blues coming through when I play Taylors, just cant get the bluesy character out of them, or rosewood dreads with heavy overtones.
Small box, with a dry, thumpy tone, mahogany b/s to my ears just sounds ideal.
