I'm a starter/beginner but I did run track and field and cross country and worked out every so often while in high school so I'm not a complete noob but anyways is this a good full body workout routine?
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Workout
Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday: Rest days, maybe cardio + abs
For workout days is this good for a fullbody?
Flat BB Bench Press 3x8-12 (CHEST shoulders triceps)
WG Pullup 3x8-12 (LATS biceps middleback)
DB Standing Shoulder Press 3x8-12 (SHOULDERS, Chest, Triceps)
BB CG Bench Press 2x8-12 (TRICEPS chest)
DB Bicep Curls 2x8-12 (BICEPS forearms)
BB Back Squats 3x8-12 (QUADCRICEPS glute calves hamstring)
BB Stiff Legged Deadlifts 3x8-12 (HAMSTRINGS glutes lowerback)
I was thinking of maybe removing the close grip bench press to limit it to 6 exercises per day instead of 7 since I'm already working out my chest and triceps on 2 other exercises?
Is this good? What should I remove/add? Recommendations + Opinions would be great!

Yes and no. It's good that you've taken the initiative to do a full body workout and the exercises you have in there actually look pretty good. However, I think you should take out the curls and add deadlifts for a second back exercise. Also do 3 sets for CG bench. That way you've got 6 sets of chest, legs and back in 2 exercises each. If you push yourself hard enough and have proper form, the contractions/stretch you get in your biceps/triceps from bench press and pull ups should be more than enough for your arms at this stage. I'd also say a warm up set for each primary muscle group and stretching before and after your session.
Lastly, I'll get someone else to help me out on this/their opinions but you might want to build up your strength first with the 3-5 rep range rather than 8-12. Ask everyone else first though.
Edit: You could also do an incline bench press instead of CG bench.Workout Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=168292533&p=1378041213#post1378041213
