You need two score blocks, like this:

\score {
  \new StaffGroup \with {
    \consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
    instrumentName = "Electric guitar"
  } <<
    \new Staff \with {
      midiInstrument = "overdriven guitar"
      \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep 2)
    } { \clef "treble_8" \electricGuitar }
    \new TabStaff \with {
      stringTunings = #guitar-tuning
    } \electricGuitar
  >>
  \layout {
      #(layout-set-staff-size 25)
     \omit StringNumber
  }
}

\score {
  \removeWithTag nomidi
  \new Staff \with {
    midiInstrument = "overdriven guitar"
  } \electricGuitar
   \midi {}
}
