New electric guitars

After reading several posts about set up and what not....my question on this thread is simple. When one buys a NEW guitar (as in never been played before...fresh off the assembly line), does that electric guitar need to go right to set up? I tuned mine (pitch pipe) as soon as I unpacked it, not realizing it may need set up (mostly cause I didn't know what "set up" even was, much less having heard about it) and it sounded fine per pitch pipe. I've noticed tho, that via electronic tuner, the strings were out of "perfect" pitch, altho not by much. How can I tell if my current, self inflicted set up is right? Is there any wierd or painful feelings I should have in my fingers, hands, etc..? Anything I should be watching for?
