Inside the body?I'd probably just leave it if I were you.Else,just wipe it with a dry cloth when you change strings or vacuum it.

Instead of sucking the dust, why don't you blow the dust away?
I use a blower from my camera kit (go to any camera shop, they should have one cheap) and blow the dust out. With the nozzle, it's easier to blow dust out tiny corners. Then use a guitar cloth to wipe it clean with a little bit of guitar cleaner. |
