You're most welcome.

Your F310 is a sound instrument for the journey you're about to embark upon.

Whilst it probably already is, do check the [u]action[/u] of your guitar is not too high. All you need is a steel rule to measure it, or as previously mentioned, if out of your comfort zone adjusting neck relief if necessary, take it into your local guitar shop and ask politely if they can check the action for you.

Too high an action will make it more difficult to fret potentially exacerbating a common beginner trait of pressing the strings too hard (which can result in the fretted note being sharp), and too low can induce other issues such as buzzing.

Have fun with it, be patient, and we'll see you around.
