Adapting a Solo

I tend to like acoustic better than electric. Just my personal preference. (sorry ed) Anyway, the other day I learned the first solo from Sultans of Swing on my electric. My question is how do you adapt where you must bend notes? The solo starts out with 4 bends at the 12th fret G string. Is there a way you can substitute something else for that bend or any other bend? Its very difficult to bend on acoustic. Thanks for any help.
