Just check all the usual stuff. What type of Jazzmaster is it?
The Squier VM ones can be a bit ropey but that's mostly just the hardware.
Jazzmasters themselves are slightly overhyped. What they are in fact, is a great rhythm instrument with a bridge design that gives them a really cool reverberation/feel.
Here's my 1965:
Personally I found them to have a weird feel with that long body, everything feels further to the left.
Again the bulky body can make them heavy too.
They are pretty trendy which makes them more expensive in general compared to a Strat.

I'll be able to examine it in person at the weekend.
Some of the guitars you're posting are making me quite like the idea of having one.
Tonally I'm expecting something between a Strat & my SG Jr... Is that reasonable? The only Jazzmaster player I'm really familiar with is J Mascis & his tone seems to be built on layers of fuzz & distortion. (I do like the chimey clean bits too though).
Admittedly they are a bit on the 'far-too-trendy' side at the moment, but no more over-hyped than anything else that I can think of (apart from DeArmonds!).
They're also much more than rhythm instruments. Especially the J Mascis ones and CPs etc with the re-positioned trems. Although putting a Tune-o-matic on them is rubbish.
Nice JM btw @riscado
